A view of a modern mental hospital: by June Rose
JUNE ROSE spent several days in Severalls, Colchester, a largish hospital - certainly not the worst, probably not the best of them all.
She talked to patients about what it's like to be there, why they're in and when they expect to get out: to doctors and nurses about living with and treating the mentally sick.
A second chance to hear this programme first broadcast last September.
Produced by RICHARD KEEN
