HC Deb 06 November 1972 vol 845 c92W
Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many people are classified as being handicapped; what are the numbers being children or adults by sex; if he will classify them according to categories of mental and physical handicap; and what nationally approved training courses are available for their treatment.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Estimates of the numbers of people with various forms of handicap were published in the report "The Handicapped and Impaired in Great Britain" and in my Department's memorandum on "Services for the Mentally Handicapped". A wide range of health, educational, social work, recreational and employment facilities is available for the treatment and training of the handicapped.
