The work could not have been carried out without the ready co-operation of the
voluntary and statutory social workers. The direct contact with the local general
practitioners has yet to be fully developed, and the Psychiatric Social Worker has had
few occasions to approach local employers, possibly because most patients are either
married women or are chronically sick. There are some aspects of the work which could
be extended, e.g., mental health talks to various groups, and work with parents of
backward children who are not covered either by the Child Guidance Clinic or the Mental
Deficiency Acts ,
