According to a study on psychiatric wards in Taipei hospitals carried out by the Taipei City Psychiatric Center, the Taipei area has 457 beds for acute cases, far from the 1170 beds needed. For chronic patients there are 2639 beds--more than 2000 short of the goal of eight such beds per 10,000 people.
根據台北市立療養院所作的「台北區公私立精神醫療院所普查資料」，台北區現有急性病床四五七床，與目標需求量一一七○床，相去甚遠；慢性床二六三九床，與每萬人八床的目標，還相差兩千多床。
