    I have worked as a mental health support worker for many years. Since the major institutions closed do you think care in the community has been an overall success or a down right failure?

    Bearing in mind confidentiality, are there any anecdotes or stories you would care to share, whether it be positive or negative. Do you think it is a multimillion pound money spinner or a valuable tool that benefits it’s service users. All answers appreciated, sorry if this question appears more than once over the next 2 weeks as I’m doing a little research on the subject and want to obtain as many views as possible.
