dc.description	This project is part of the Mid-Western Health Board’s response to developments in mental health policy at national level. The objectives of the mental health services, as set out by the Department of Health, are: to promote mental health; and to restore the mentally ill to as independent and normal a life as possible. These objectives originate in the Planning for the Future Report, which set out new strategies for mental health care in Ireland. These strategies included the replacement of institutional beds with a range of community-based alternatives, including day hospital and day care facilities. Within the psychiatric service itself, continuity of care is seen as important. This means that the same team of professionals, linking with primary medical care and primary carers, provide care at all levels, from in-patient to community residence, for all illnesses, and for all stages of illness.	en_US
