Why we visited people in rehabilitation and continuing care wards

This report returns to the type of services that we visited in 2003. Our findings and recommendations from those visits are set out in our publication - Greater Expectations.  The report set out our concerns about:

• the apparent low level of therapeutic, rehabilitative and recreational activities;
• the drabness of many of the wards and units;
• how little individuals knew about their own care and treatment

Five years on and following the introduction of the Mental Health (Care & Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003, we felt it was time to revisit these continued care and rehabilitation wards in order to evaluate the progress made since 2003.
