HC Deb 28 May 1963 vol 678 c108W
Mr. Bowles

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many beds are currently available for the treatment of mental illness in British Honduras; where they are situated; and what is the percentage by which the provision falls short of that recommended by the World Health Organisation in relation to total population.

Mr. Sandys

There are 141 beds of which 88 are for males and 53 are for females. All these are in the Mental Hospital, Belize. This provision falls short by about 5 per cent. (five per cent.) of the provision recommended by the World Health Organisation in relation to the total population.
