Abstract
Prepared jointly by NHS Estates and the Health Care Division of the Department of Health. It offers advice on the planning and design of medium secure psychiatric units. The guide concerns, in particular, medium secure in-patient facilities which, together with their 'outreach' services, provide mainly for mentally ill patients, and some with psychopathic or personality disorder.
