HC Deb 13 June 1978 vol 951 cc499-500W
Mr. James Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many disablement resettlement officers are currently working full-time in psychiatric hospitals.

Mr. John Grant

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that one hospital resettlement officer is currently working full-time in a psychiatric hospital.

Mr. James Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he has any plans to extend the number of disablement resettlement officers working in psychiatric hospitals; by how many; and by what date.

Mr. John Grant

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that the experimental hospital resettlement officer service will shortly be subject to evaluation and review and that any extensions to the service will depend upon the findings.
