HC Deb 03 February 1958 vol 581 c135W
85. Mr. Owen

asked the Minister of Health what administrative action the Government proposes to take on the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Mental Health presented to Parliament in May, 1957.

Mr. Walker-Smith

I have accepted the Commission's recommendations on informal admission to mental deficiency hospitals and I sent circulars to hospitals and local health authorities on 15th January about their implementation. I am considering the Commission's other recommendations in the light of the comments received from interested authorities and associations.
