§ Mr. Christopher Priceasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) what was the total revenue expenditure on services for the mentally ill for 1975–76 for the South-West Thames Regional Health Authority and for each area health authority within that region;
(2) what was the total revenue expenditure for 1975–76 on services for the mentally ill for the South-East Thames Regional Health Authority and for each area health authority within that region.
§ Mr. MoyleIt is not possible from the accounts of NHS authorities to identify expenditure on the treatment of patients suffering from specified diseases or con-292W ditions, except where treatment is given in hospitals in which the beds are provided exclusively or predominantly for the use of a single specialty. Services for the mentally ill are provided not only in such special purpose hospitals but frequently in acute and other hospitals, and also as part of the community health services; I regret, therefore, that the information is not available in the form requested.
Expenditure in 1975–76 of area health authorities within the South-West Thames and South-East Thames Regional Health Authorities on hospitals specifically designated as psychiatric (mental illness) was as follows:

§ Mr. James Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the total expenditure in services for the mentally ill in 1975–76 for each local authority 294W within the Yorkshire Regional Planning Area No. 2 of the Social Work Service.
§ Mr. MoyleSome local authority services—e.g., field social work services—are of a general nature, and it is not practicable to separate out expenditure on these into expenditure on specific client groups. Thus, total expenditure by individual local authorities on services for the mentally ill cannot be identified.
