Abstract

Swedish estimates of the need for long-term intensive health care provision for profoundly mentally handicapped children were compared with an Edinburgh survey, and the neurodevelopment and health characteristics of Edinburgh children with profound mental handicap who required prolonged admission are described. The extent of their disabilities indicates the complexity of the task of designing alternatives to their present hospital provision which will adequately meet their health needs.
