HC Deb 07 April 1936 vol 310 cc2631-2W
Mr. SORENSEN

asked the Minister of Health the number of out-patient claims for mental patients that have been established to the present date?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

The latest available information indicates that there are now 143 out-patient clinics associated with public mental hospitals. More comprehensive particulars will be secured by a questionnaire which is shortly to be issued to local authorities by the Board of Control, and I will in due course inform the hon. Member of the results of this return.

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

According to the reports of the Lancashire county analyst, the number of prosecutions brought by the county council under the Food and Drugs (Adulteration) Act in respect of milk during the three years 1933 to 1935 was 80, and fines were imposed in 53 of those cases.
