HC Deb 07 June 1967 vol 747 cc232-3W
Mr. Moonman

asked the Minister of Health (1) what measures he is taking to provide effective integration between the hospitals, general practitioners and local authority mental health services;

(2) in order that there should be an integrated service for the mentally ill, whether he will seek to ensure that all mental hospital management committees and the health committees of the local communities from which patients are admitted have an element of common membership.

Mr. K. Robinson

The attention of hospital and local health authorities has been drawn to the importance of establishing close links at committee and officer level, including the setting up of regional and local mental health liaison committees.
