There has been little progress in the development of women sensitive services over the last ten years and it remains difficult to ensure that this issue achieves priority at a time of substantial change within the health and social care system. The importance of the voluntary sector in providing sensitive and flexible alternative to mainstream services is still evident, as is the insecurity of services within this sector and the consequent danger of looking to voluntary sector provision as an adequate answer to the problem. In spite of an absence of evaluative research there is considerable agreement about what women sensitive services would look like. There are also committed and enthusiastic workers who are looking to the publication of the national strategy for mental health care for women to provide the national lead that can support local developments. Such developments will only be achieved if they are given the level and stability of resources required to deliver sustainable change.
