§ Mr. F. ROBERTSasked the Minister of Pensions how many hospitals have been set up for special treatment of ex-service men suffering from nerve and mental troubles; in what districts are such hospitals situated; and what is the total number of patients for which accommodation can be found?
§ Major TRYON18 hospitals for the treatment of neurasthenia in its various forms have been established under the direct control of the Ministry in different parts of the country, providing accommodation for about 17060W officers and 2,500 other ranks. I am sending my hon. Friend a list of these institutions, but I may mention that treatment for the milder forms of neurasthenia is also provided in hospitals not specially set apart for that purpose. Treatment for certified mental cases is provided by the Board of Control.
