§ Dr. Owen
The Wessex Regional Health Authority estimates that in 1975–76 8.3 per cent. of its capital allocation, excluding special allocations, will be spent on mental illness services and 3.4 per cent. on mental handicap services. Estimates of expenditure in other years are not available.
The West Midlands Regional Health Authority has not yet completed its consideration of estimates of expenditure.

£1.1 million in 1975–76 for Wessex RHA. The Trent and West Midlands authorities have not yet completed

§ Mr. Moonman
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many places are available in adolescent units for mentally-ill people under the age of 18 years; how many people under the age of 18 years are currently in adult wards in mental hospitals; and if she will make a statement.

§ Dr. Owen
At the end of 1973, there were 1,094 places in units or wards for children and adolescents in mental illness hospitals and units in England and Wales. In 1971, when the census of patients in mental illness hospitals and units was undertaken, there were 468 people aged under 18 in general wards in mental illness hospitals and units.
The level of in-patient provision for mentally ill adolescents is well below what has been estimated to be required. Where no other facilities are available, adolescents may have to be accommodated in adult wards; in a few cases this may be the most suitable placement. However, marked progress has been made in this field in the last decade, and priority will continue to be given to these services as far as is possible. The question of the pattern of services needed for mentally ill adolescents will be discussed in the forth coming White Paper.

§ Mr. Moonman
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will advise regional and local health authorities of the need, when informing themselves of the number and needs of permanently and substantially handicapped people, to include those who are severely mentally ill or mentally handicapped.

§ Mr. Alfred Morris
I assume my hon. Friend has in mind the duty which Section 1 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970 placed on local authorities—not on health authorities—to inform themselves of the number and needs of handicapped people. It has 517W already been made clear to local authorities that this duty extends to mentally disordered persons of any description. I am happy to have this opportunity of stressing the point again.

§ Mr. Moonman
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will advise the appropriate authorities to provide sheltered accommodation for mentally ill and mentally handicapped people; and if she will make a statement.

§ Dr. Owen
Residential accommodation for mentally ill and mentally handicapped people in the community is mainly provided by local authorities. They are anxious to press ahead, but we are at present reviewing projects in the light of the Budget Statement made by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 15th April.

§ Mr. Moonman
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will advise the appropriate authorities to assist persons who are rendered housebound by a mental illness such as agoraphobia and who are in need of a telephone to overcome their isolation.

§ Mr. Alfred Morris
It has already been made clear that Section 2 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act applies to persons suffering from a mental disorder. Guidance already issued by my Department makes it clear that applications for assistance should be considered in the light of individual circumstances. Advice about assistance with telephones was issued by the former local authority associations.

§ Mrs. Hayman
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the total National Health Service revenue expenditure on services to the mentally handicapped in the North-West Thames Regional Health Authority in the years 1965 to 1975; and what proportion this represented of all National Health Service current expenditure during this period.

§ Dr. Owen
It is not practicable to segregate fully expenditure on services for the mentally handicapped from that on other health and personal social services but I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply today to my hon. Friend the Member for Edmonton (Mr. Graham).
