HC Deb 25 March 1920 vol 127 c628W
Mr. WATERSON

asked the Minister of Health if it is his intention to start sanatoria for early uncertifiable mental cases which do not at first involve detention; and, if so, the approximate cost of such outlay?

Dr. ADDISON

I am afraid that I cannot at present add anything to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Thornbury (Mr. Kendall) on the 12th March, when I explained that any such scheme would require legislation, and I am not in a position to say when such legislation will be introduced.
