Making a break

Article Abstract:

Community respite care services have been established in Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, England. A care respite bed has been allocated at Fitzwilliam House by combining health authority and social services resources. A carers' group organises the allocation of the bed according to need. The service has averted emergency respite care in psychiatric hospitals. The scheme's success has prompted the introduction of a second group at Histon, Cambridgeshire.
