Mental Health Services–Statistics and Policy

In Britain we have traditionally bemoaned the lack of accurate, comprehensive, mental health statistics. With the inherent problems of psychiatric diagnosis, the impossibility of defining abnormal in the absence of satisfactory standards of normality, and the diffuseness and variety of agencies that offer help, this lack is neither surprising nor reprehensible. It does, however, make planning difficult. In recent years much progress has been made; and some gaps have been filled, not least by the psychiatric case registers, which have now provided at least a series of base-line statistical descriptions of the use of mental health services and offered opportunities for more effective evaluation (Wing & Hailey, 1972). The statistical descriptions themselves are not enough, of course; but even with very simple figures, questions relatingto social phenomena may be clarified and raised into prominence as important and susceptible to the attentions of both administrators and clinicians. Such statistics are greatly multiplied in usefulness, and general lessons may be learned, if several registers can produce comparable figures. This has recently been done by the Camberwell and Salford registers (Wing & Fryers, 1976). Both these areas are entirely urban and within large conurbations, Camberwell in S. E. London and Salford in Greater Manchester. The Camberwell service focuses on the Maudsley Hospital and has relatively high provision in most respects, but the Salford service can reasonably be considered fairly representative of psychiatric provision in urban England. This paper presents statistical data from studies in Salford, with some comparative data from the Camberwell register, which

The Containment of Urban England

This paper summarizes some main conclusions of the book The containment of urban England (2 vols, Allen and Unwin 1973) by the author and others. Volume I focuses on patterns of urban growth in England since the Second World War: urban areas (defined in terms ofthe American concept ofthe Metropolitan Area) have tended to decentralized population and, more tardily, employment; these processes seem to have taken place earlier in the larger areas. Physically, the urban areas have been contained; losses of rural land to urban land have been restricted in quantity and compact in form. The effect of containment has, however, varied from one part of the most heavily urbanized area of England (Megalopolis England) to another. Volume II focuses on the objectives, operations and impacts of the planning system, which has operated as one actor ?together with developers, industrialists and others?in a complex pattern of interaction. The main impacts ofthe planning system?physical containment, separation of residence from work, and rising land and property values?are in important respects perverse and certainly unintended by the planners; while paradoxically, the effects on the distribution of real income appear often to have been regressive.

McKenzie and Silver's study that working-class Conservatives cannot be thought of as a distinctive sub-population within their class. On no single major criterion-income, skill-level, age, sex, trade-union membership, religious affiliation and the like-are differences between left and right working-class voters particularly marked. Parental social origin did show up more clearly as a discriminating variable; those who claimed middle class fathers were twice as likely to vote Conservative as those of work-
