title: Community care for mentally ill offenders.
abstract: Perhaps no group of patients needs skilled support on discharge back into the community more than mentally disturbed offenders. John Parry describes the community nursing input to the Regional Forensic Psychiatry Service in Merseyside, and emphasises the need for a co-ordinated and planned approach to help solve the multiple and complex problems of this group.
