Answer:
This is a revision of the CRAG Good Practice Statement "Nursing Observation of Acutely Ill Psychiatric Patients in Hospital" (1995). It sets out guidance on the care of people with acute mental health problems who require observation and special care. The guidance will be relevant to NHSScotland Trusts (including the State Hospital) who provide acute psychiatric care, staff (of all disciplines), users and carers. Much of the content will be of use to other providers of mental health care.
