[Decentralization of psychiatric health service].
The article discusses two stages of de-centralization of psychiatric hospitals: the first consists in further division into sub-districts, the second one includes successive establishment of psychiatric wards in general hospitals. With the growth of their number these wards are to take over more and more general psychiatric tasks from the specialized psychiatric hospitals. These wards will not substitute psychiatric hospitals completely. The hospitals, though decreasing in size and number, will be a necessary element of the de-centralized and versatile psychiatric care for a long time to come.
