title: Referrals to a new regional secure unit--what happens to patients refused admission?
abstract: The new Regional Secure Unit for the West Midlands, the Reaside Clinic, had a total of 85 patients referred for admission during the first year of operation, of whom 32 were considered unsuitable for admission. The characteristics and outcome of these patients are discussed, together with the implications for forensic psychiatrists, general psychiatrists and prison medical officers.
