  • Title: The TAPS Project. 10: The long-stay populations of Friern and Claybury hospitals. The baseline survey.
    Author: O'Driscoll C, Wills W, Leff J, Margolius O.
    Journal: Br J Psychiatry Suppl; 1993 Apr; (19):30-5. PubMed ID: 8484928.
    Abstract:
    As part of the TAPS project, the baseline long-stay populations of Friern and Claybury Hospitals were compared using the TAPS assessment schedules. Each hospital has reduced bed numbers by two-thirds, and although the two have been subjected to different influences, their remaining long-stay patients were similar, and characterised by severe problems with hygiene, florid psychotic symptoms, a high prevalence of negative symptoms, and impoverished social networks.
