Between 1983 and 1991 mental health services in Buckinghamshire, as in many other parts of the country, underwent a radical restructuring. Facilities previously dominated by the mental hospital (St John's, near Aylesbury in the centre of the county), were devolved to the three health districts, Milton Keynes, Aylesbury Vale and Wycombe. These changes culminated in the closure of the hospital in September 1991.
