“…In planning for the future, according to Macmillan, a population of 250,000-300,000 would seem to be the maximum for a mental health service. Querido (1954) and Millar and Henderson (1956) described the community mental health service in Amsterdam where extensive use of domiciliary service is made. Sainsbury and Grad (1962) and Grad and Sainsbury (1963) have made comparative studies of the burden on the family and the results of treatment in the hospital-centred conservative psychiatric treatment service in Salisbury and the community psychiatric service in Chichester.…”
