Abstract
  • This book consists of a series of papers on various aspects of day hospitals for elderly people in Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1970. The author stresses that the reason for and the primary role of the day hospital are therapeutic and the major reasons for their use are rehabilitation, physical maintenance of elderly people, and social care. For those planning area and district health services, it is valuable that the author clearly differentiates between the function of the day hospital and the day centre, yet stresses the valuable supportive role of the day centre for the day hospital.
