The aim of the article was to compare the rate of non-attendance for new referrals to a hospital based clinic versus home assessment. It was found that assessing new outpatient referrals to old age psychiatry services at home reduces non-attendance. This improves efficient use of medical time in a small geographical catchment area but may not apply to rural or larger areas.
