At the inception of the National Health Service, most of the large psychiatric hospitals were constituted independent administrative “Groups”. In some cases a mental and a mental subnormality hospital, or two mental subnormality hospitals were joined to form a Group; and a number of the smaller psychiatric hospitals (either for mental illness or for mental subnormality) were attached to Groups consisting mainly of general and specialist hospitals for bodily diseases.
