People with mild intellectual disabilities and challenging behaviour, who had all been service-users at a specialist, hospital-based unit, were interviewed after they had left the service for an average of four and a half years, about their current quality of life and their memories of the service. On the whole, people were still living in the community though many had had a large number of placement moves (and some had returned to hospital or prison). It is argued that there may be a need to re-think services for service-users with challenging behaviours and mild intellectual disabilities.
