A PSYCHO-ANALYST who is Medical Director of a Hospital for Neurosis THE MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT of a Mental Hospital
An important feature of the Plan, which was announced in January, is a reduction by half, over the next fifteen years, in the present number of places in mental hospitals and provision for the treatment of mentally ill patients in general hospitals. The Minister of Health has said this will mean ' nothing less than the elimination of by far the greater number of this country's mental hospitals as they stand today.' : second broadcast
