§ Mr. Irvingasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what discussions have been held with voluntary organisations representing families of people suffering from mental disorder regarding their involvement in decisions on care and the planning of relevant services.
§ Mrs. CurrieI refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to him by my predecessor on 30 June 1986 at column414. I should only wish to add that in addition to the 19 mental illness organisations that we support, we also fund 23 mental handicap organisations and are in contact with others we do not fund.
