- Abstract
The article presents a study that explores the attitudes, views and experiences of key-front line staff from government social and health care organizations working on a typical mental health (MH) care pathway in Northwest England. Tape-recorded interviews from ten front-line staffs were obtained regarding the accessibility and quality of MH services for adults with learning disabilities (LD). It also highlights the contribution of poor accessibility to MH services in identifying the problems.
