HC Deb 19 December 1995 vol 268 c1140W
Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many violent deaths have been caused by care in the community patients with particular reference to(a) homicides, and (b) suicides; and if he will make a statement. [7119]

Mr. Bowis

This information is not available centrally. We have no reason to believe that the implementation of community-based mental health care has led to an increase in either homicides or suicides.
