Mental health. Reach out and join up.
The NHS plan proposed the establishment of 220 specialist assertive outreach teams for people with serious mental illness by 2003. Research on the development of these teams in London shows that diverse models are in operation. Some focus on medication administration, others on psychosocial needs. It is important that these teams are incorporated into the spectrum of care services.
