HC Deb 21 May 1974 vol 874 c76W
Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what special facilities are available for assisting the after-care services dealing with mental health to provide opportunities of employment for their patients.

Mr. Harold Walker

The full range of my Department's specialist resettlement services is available to mentally ill and mentally handicapped people who need help in obtaining open or sheltered employment. In particular, disablement resettlement officers work closely with the staff of local authority social services in helping mentally ill and mentally handicapped people to resettle in the community.
