HL Deb 04 May 1970 vol 310 cc107-8WA
BARONESS WOOTTON OF ABINGER

asked Her Majesty's Government:

To confirm the number of patients who have been admitted, and the number who have been receiving treatment as in-patients or out-patients at heroin addiction centres in January, 1970.

BARONESS SEROTA

I regret that the figures given for January, 1970, in my reply of March 24 (OFFICIAL REPORT, Vol. 308, col. 1398) have been found to be incorrect. The corrected figures are:—

Patients Attending Hospitals in England for Treatment for Addiction to Heroin:
Admitted during the month In hospital at end of the month New during the month Attending at end of the month
January, 1970 65 92 50 1,131
