§ Mr. John MarshallTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what conclusions the Government draw from the report of the committee of inquiry into the care and aftercare of Miss Sharon Campbell, Cm. 440.
§ Mrs. CurrieThe report made a number of very helpful recommendations relating to the care of mentally disordered people in the community. It was drawn to the attention of health and local authorities to whom its contents will be of value in terms of service planning and good practice.
We are considering those recommendations which are specifically directed to the Secretary of State, and others which may require some action or consideration at national level. We shall, of course, take action to implement any changes that are necessary.
