Abstract
We have described the background for the reform of mental health services in Israel. This reform is in response to public dissatisfaction that led to the government to set up the Netanyahu Commission which suggested far reaching reforms in health care. The proposed solutions are integrated and geared toward making mental health services more comprehensive and available in the community, in general, and specifically in the primary medical setting. This redefines the role of hospital care in psychiatry for only patients who cannot benefit from less restrictive care. These changes will hopefully render the system more consumer oriented and financially more efficient.
