possibility of including in the centre some of those suffering from
other types of disability.
For those whose mental health does not permit them to
maintain a level of work performance required in a sheltered
workshop, a day centre is planned which will provide occupational
and social facilities for about 50 persons.
Conclusion
The mental health service report is but an outline account
of what has been accomplished in the past five years and there are
plans for further development.
Lack of space precludes reporting on "fringe" services, such
as the drug problem and work with problems of the adolescent, but
the department sees the mental health services in the broadest
context. While there is much to do in the more clearly defined
areas of mental health, still more developments will take place in
the "fringe" areas which present so many community and personal
problems.
Finally, a tribute must be paid to the sterling work of the
various voluntary organisations in the Borough, who make a vital
contribution in the field of mental health and welfare.
