(2) which local authorities are operating night sitting-in services; how many nurses were employed in such work by each such authority; how many visits were made in total by each such authority during the last period for which records are available; how many patients were visited by each such authority during such period; how many such patients died during such period; how many such deceased patients were living alone; and how many such deceased patients living alone were singly incontinent and how many doubly incontinent.

Mr. Alison

I regret that the statistical information requested is not collected on a national basis, although individual local health authorities which are responsible for these services will doubtless have their own records.
