HC Deb 19 July 1978 vol 954 cc256-64W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the long-stay hospitals for mentally handicapped children in England; and, for each hospital, what is the number of children and the proportion they form of the total patients and the whole-time ratio to children of care staff in the following disciplines: nursing, speech therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, play therapy, clinical psychology and paediatrics.

Mr. Moyle,

pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 17th July 1978], gave the following information:

Mental handicap hospitals in England in which children are resident are listed below, along with as much as possible of the other information requested. Centrally available statistics do not distinguish between children admitted for short-term care and those receiving long-term care. Nor is it possible to identify separately the amount of time staff spend providing services to children. Total staff numbers are given, but ratios of staff to children cannot be provided in a meaningful form. Information is not centrally available about play therapists.
