AN EVALUATION OF A MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM BY USE OF SELECTED OPERATING STATISTICS.

Reorganization of the Illinois Department of Mental Health with revised programming during the period 1960-1970 should have improved patient services in the State of Illinois, and should be reflected in the Department's operating statistics. Several indices bearing on patient services are reviewed together with some speculative comment on the future of mental health services in the state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
