HC Deb 22 June 1995 vol 262 c342W
Mr. Whittingdale

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate she has made of the number of beds blocked as a result of hospitals being unable to discharge patients due to the lack of appropriate arrangements being made by social services departments for their care in the community. [29711]

Mr. Bowis

The information is not available in the form requested. The results of a survey of hospital discharge were published in "Community Care Monitoring Report 1994" copies of which are available in the Library.
