title: Dentists and community care.
abstract: April 1993 saw the introduction of the 'Community Care' element of the 1990 NHS and Community Care Act. The term 'Community Care' describes the relocation of long-stay hospital residents to community accommodation. Much public attention has recently been focused on the welfare of psychiatric patients in the community, in particular whether they currently receive adequate care and supervision.
