HC Deb 05 May 1976 vol 910 cc403-4W
Mr. Grist

asked the Secretary of State for Wales why he was unable to identify, separately, discharges from and deaths in mental and psychiatric units and hospitals in Wales, in his Written Answer to the hon. Member for Cardiff, North on 19th February 1976.

Mr. Barry Jones

The information given in the Written Answer was taken from statistics relating to bed use which do not distinguish between discharges and deaths. Additional information which does make this distinction is not maintained in the form requested by the hon. Member and could not be provided in that form except at disproportionate cost.
