About the London Division
Welcome to the London Division of the Royal College of
Psychiatrists. The London Division is coterminous with the London
NHS Region. Regular Academic meetings are held by the London
Division.
The population of London was 7,172,000 on Census day 2001.
Greater London covers an area of 1,584 sq km and is the smallest of
the England’s nine regions (1.2% of the total land area of
England). London’s population is projected to increase by 700,000
by 2016, greatly increasing the pressure on the city’s housing
stock. London has the highest unemployment rate of any English
region, at 7.1%. The national rate is 5.1%. There are more
unemployed people in London (173,500 claimants) than in Scotland
and Wales put together (100,300 and 45,800 respectively).
During 2001/2002 there were 7,216 formal admissions under the
Mental Health Act 1983 to NHS and private facilities in London.
This was 27.5% of the England total. Approximately a quarter of all
the Class A problem drug users in England and Wales, upwards of
70,000 people, are estimated
to live in London. There are currently over 2,500 members of the
Royal College of Psychiatrists belonging to the London Division
including the whole range of specialists within psychiatry.
