Abstract
This thesis includes four main aspects. Firstly, a situation analysis was conducted of current national public sector mental health services in South Africa, using nine service indicators. Secondly, a model was developed for estimating the mental health service needs of people with psychiatric conditions in a local South African population. Thirdly, a set of service norms was proposed for each of the nine service indicators, informed by data from the situation analysis. Fourthly, a practical user-friendly planning manual was developed, using the situation analysis, model and norms to provide guidelines for the planning of mental health services by local and provincial planners.
