HC Deb 02 March 1939 vol 344 c1485W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Health whether he can now give further information respecting treatment by somnifane-narcosis for schizophrenia and cases of manie depressive psychosis; whether he can give figures of those so treated in public mental hospitals and the percentage of improvements and discharges; and whether the Board of Control considers any disadvantages of the treatment are outweighed by the advantages?

Mr. Elliot

The reports on the work done during the past year are not yet complete, but I will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as this further information is available.
