Skills to deal with all but seven needs in the sample were available at the time of investigation. Patients not being seen by the community mental health team were similar in severity and levels of need to those who were on the community team's caseload. Care was unequivocally and severely inadequate for four patients. Shortcomings in service delivery usually arose from failure to monitor some patients at home. Problems were not due to shortage of acute psychiatric beds nor the absence of an elaborate assertive community care team.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions<\/jats:bold>\n                    : Systematic assessment of needs with research instruments can give valuable insights into the successes and failures of community care of people with major mental illness.
