§ Mr. DUCKWORTHasked the Minister of Pensions the number of men who have been in continuous institutional treatment by his Department since the War; and whether, with a view to possible 695W speedier recovery, there is any transfer of such patients from one institution to another?
§ Major TRYONI regret that I have no record of the number of cases which have been in receipt of continuous institutional treatment since their discharge from service. With regard to the latter part of the question, I may say that all cases in receipt of hospital treatment are subject to periodic inspection and report, and that special attention is given to those cases which have been for a prolonged period in receipt of this form of treatment, with a view to considering whether any other form of treatment or institution is more suitable to their condition.
