Caring for the mentally ill in the community, rather than in hospital, has meant that the views of patients and ex-patients about the kind of new services they want suddenly matters a great deal. The government is committed to listening to patients' opinions - and so are health authorities, doctors, nurses and social workers.
In the last two years, there has been an explosion of patient and ex-patient groups all over the UK. You and Yours talks to these new consumer groups - and discovers some surprising opinions.
