Extract

In view of the increasing demand for paediatric psychiatric services a separate department of Child and Family Psychiatry was set up at Stratheden Hospital, Cupar, in 1958 to provide a comprehensive service in the County of Fifeshire, Scotland. The establishment consists of one consultant, one senior registrar, two registrars, three social workers and one psychologist. The department also has 12 beds to which children are admitted for psychiatric assessment and treatment. Out-patient clinics are held in general hospitals throughout the county and emergencies are seen both in the department and at out-patient clinics.
