The Care Programme Approach and its accompanying register were introduced in response to difficulties encountered in a young adult population. This paper describes the use of the register by an old age psychiatry service who do not routinely accept ‘graduate’ patients. Few patients had a diagnosis of dementia and most had psychiatric histories in excess of 10 years.
