Presents information on the characteristics of 981 people living in a mental handicap hospital, including their age, sex, sensory and physical impairments, and level of behaviour disorder, and examines the inter-relation of these features. The findings indicate that health and local authorities should take particular note of two features, age and behaviour disorders, when developing and implementing their resettlement policies for people with mental handicaps.
