HC Deb 18 January 1988 vol 145 cc223-4W
Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what steps he has taken to ensure that adequate funds are being made available to ensure that a sufficiently high level of community care exists to cater for those patients being discharged from mental hospitals;

(2) whether he has any proposals to monitor the level of funding being made available for community care catering for those patients being discharged from mental hospitals.

Mr. Mellor

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Eddisbury (Mr. Goodlad) on 28 November 1988 at columns143–44. We have no plans to monitor the level of funding being made available for community care.
