HC Deb 19 July 1977 vol 935 c490W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many psycho-geriatric assessment units there are run by the National Health Service throughout Scotland; and how many psycho-geriatric assessment units there are run jointly by local authority social services departments and health authorities.

Mr. Harry Ewing

In 1976 there were 18 wards or units in the National Health Service in Scotland designated for psycho-geriatric assessment. In most of these social workers play a full part in the assessment of patients. There are at present, however, no psychogeriatric assessment units run jointly by local authority social services departments and health authorities.
