Describes the methodology and findings of an extensive survey of vocational rehabilitation services in the North West region. The objectives of the survey were to identify the number and types of Vocational Rehabilitation service available to people with mental health problems in the North West; to determine whether there is any correlation between the level of utilisation of V-R services within each Health Authority area and the level of need as measured by the Mental Illness Needs Index (MINI) (Glover et al. 1996); measures of unemployment rates; and to determine whether the proportion of ethnic minorities utilising services are proportionate to the level of need reflected in the ethnic population. Concludes that vocational rehabilitation schemes appear to have been developed in a haphazard manner. If we are serious about improving these services for mentally ill people wee need to implement an effective system of determining where services need to be developed.
