What else is new?

The Think Pieces and Reviews section now carries views, reviews and commentaries on current and emerging issues.

The Publications and Resources sections also include many new or recent published articles relating to mental health and housing.
Top: Un-identified two-some; yet who would hesitate to guess who is the client, and who the visitor?

Centre and below, right: The green baize benches of the House of Commons need little introduction;  and the leaded glass and leather seats combine to give a re-assuring area of earnest competence amidst traditional values......

Bottom row: By contrast, the order of the world outside seems perpetually elusive. Issues ccome from all directions; “natural” geography is idiosyncratic; and themes will not readily fit into boxes......
Selected news

This section is not an automated news feed. Instead this is a selected digest of reports and developments of particular significance to the mental health and housing agenda.

It is not, however, intended as a blog. For opinion pieces, see “Think Pieces and Reviews”.

The content is all web-accessible, with the exception of some research reports, where only abstracts may be on-line.


We note that much of healthcare news and comment is - to coin a phrase - free at the point of use (provided you are willing sometimes to register for news feeds). Housing sector news, by contrast, is often available on a subscriber-only basis.

For a very comprehensive overview of housing and community care policy more broadly, we would strongly recommend the DH Care Networks site.  
For a trenchant - and sometimes hilarious - commentary on health policy, we can thoroughly recommend the editorials of the NHS networks.
