§ Mr. Grovesasked the Minister of Health the constitution of the Mental Health Emergency Committee; by whom, when, it was formed and what its precise powers and functions are; and what are the medical organisations with which it co-operates?
§ Mr. ElliotI understand that the committee referred to was formed early in 1939 by a number of voluntary organisations concerned with mental welfare and allied matters, with the object of addressing itself to problems of mental health, mental deficiency, and community care in time of war. As it is a voluntary committee I would refer the hon. Member for further information respecting its functions to the committee itself. Its address is 24, Buckingham Palace Road.
