Abstract
It is known that in most traditional psychiatric hospitals a significant minority of patients can have a better quality of life in hospital-hostels. With ample hospital-hostel places it was decided to interview and/or review the notes of all the non-demented Gloucestershire patients under 75 years whose stay in psychiatric hospitals exceeded one year on a census date of 26 September 1990. The characteristics of these long stay or residual patients are described.
