§ Mr. Moonmanasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many officially paid organisers of volunteers there are in psychiatric hospitals and mental health divisions of local authorities; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CrossmanComplete information is not available centrally, but at least ten psychiatric hospitals are known by my Department to have made such appointments. Advice which I shall shortly be issuing to hospital authorities on voluntary work in hospitals includes guidance on the appointment of paid organisers.
