PROPOSALS UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT
Proposals to re-organise inpatient mental health services in Lancashire are to be reviewed in light of the coalition government's new rules on service change in the NHS.
The proposed changes – which are the result of an extensive public consultation in 2006 – will be reviewed by all five Lancashire Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) with support from doctors and mental health clinicians.
