HC Deb 02 December 1985 vol 88 cc148-52W
Mr. Hancock

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many acute geriatric beds there are in each Hampshire hospital presently; and what are the comparative figures for each year from 1979 to 1984.

Mr. Whitney

[pursuant to his reply, 18 November 1985, c. 83–4Information is not held centrally in precisely the form requested. The available information is given in the table.

Available statistics do not differentiate between types of activity in hospitals. Crude ratios of staff to total patients are not therefore meaningful.
