[Where is convergence of psychiatry budgets leading to? : A comparison of staffing regulations and actual personnel resources].

CONCLUSION: The convergence of psychiatric hospital budgets starts in 2019 below a level of funding required to fulfil staffing regulations. This would perpetuate inadequately funded structures and should initially be opposed with a demand for complete fulfilment of staffing regulations. Thereafter, a normative consent should be reached to define the resources required for current inpatient mental health care.
