HC Deb 15 June 1973 vol 857 c404W
Mr. McElhone

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has authorised the provision of any special centres for those persons suffering from epilepsy.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

No. Regional hospital boards, whose responsibility it is to decide what hospital facilities are required and what priority they are to be given, are fully aware of the kind of services needed for epilepsy. Such facilities may not necessarily take the form of special centres.
