Investigates the provision and use of after-care services for a group of schizophrenic patients discharged from acute psychiatric units in North Durham. Results found that patient monitoring and targeting of services to the more severely disabled appeared to be inadequate, and there were shortcomings in areas of social care provision. Community facilities were often lacking and failed to cater for the needs of this client group. Carers were more critical of services than patients.
