title: Resettlement. Home at last.
abstract: A three-year resettlement programme was hampered by opposition from local communities, with the result that many residents had to be moved in the last few months before the hospital closure. The idea of resettlement provoked anxiety among residents' relatives as some residents had been in the hospital all their lives. The cost of the programme was higher than first envisaged partly due to property prices.
