Clients' satisfaction survey in a psychiatric inpatient population attached to a general hospital.
A clients' satisfaction survey was undertaken on the population of a psychiatric inpatient facility in a general hospital setting. The responses were analysed statistically and the results showed that the patients were highly satisfied with the services provided. The results are reviewed within the context of the literature available, and the methodological issues involved are discussed. It is felt that existing questionnaires need to be further refined to make them more sensitive to dissatisfaction felt by patients.

Levodopa in Huntingtons chorea.
Sixteen patients with Huntington's chorea were treated for periods as long as 8 months with levodopa. The condition of none of the patients improved; in fact, there appeared to be an exacerbation of chorea and dementia in addition to undesirable behavioural changes. Therefore, future use of levodopa in these patients is not warranted. The postulated association of low homovanillic acid values in cerebrospinal fluid and favourable response to levodopa therapy was not borne out.
