The adequacy of outpatient child psychiatric facilities?
An analysis was made of South Auckland cases referred to the Auckland child health clinic in 1972 and 1973, and a survey of the views of the doctors and others who refer to the clinic was undertaken. The aim of the study was to establish whether the child assessment and treatment needs of the South Auckland area are being met, and the conclusion of the authors was that they are not. Recommendations are made.
