| Abstract | Despite limited resources, the demand for quality psychiatric rehabilitation services is increasing, and there is thus a need for setting priority in service provision. Theoretically, this should be a rational and objective exercise, but in reality, policy makers often add in personal bias and subject their decisions to the political outcry. This paper addresses different perspectives in setting priorities, and the essential determinants that should be carefully considered, including local and overseas studies and development. Even then, there could still be some dilemma which remained unsolved, but the past development in the rehabilitation scene in Hong Kong still points to an optimistic direction. |
