The Worcester Development Project began in 1968 when the Department of Health and Social Security brought together the Worcester and Kidderminster Hospital Management Committee and the County Council in a co-ordinated joint planning venture. Powick Hospital was chosen as the location for testing the hypothesis that closing a mental hospital and replacing it with general hospital psychiatric units, supported by a variety of community facilities, would provide a more economical and better service. This paper describes the outcome of this unique opportunity to study the problems involved in closing a mental hospital and its replacement with other facilities.
