The advantages and disadvantages of a mother and baby facility as part of a general hospital psychiatric admission unit were explored. A questionnaire was sent to 60 women who had been admitted to the unit with their babies over a ten-year period asking about their psychological health following discharge from hospital, the welfare of their family and their opinion of the facility. A 37% response rate was obtained. The patients' case-notes were studied for information on various items and the results for the response and nonresponse subgroups were compared.
