In 1985, nearly two years after the announcement of the intended closure of Claybury and Friern Hospitals, the Team for the Assessment Psychiatric Services (TAPS) was set up to evaluate this policy. TAPS has now grown to a staff of six full-time researchers (three psychologists, a psychiatrist, a sociologist and a health economist) and is funded mainly by the North East Thames Regional Health Authority, but also by the Department of Health. This was the eighth annual conference, and the first since the closure of Friern Hospital in March 1993.
