HC Deb 24 July 1979 vol 971 cc202-3W
Mr. Park

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many patients discharged from psychiatric hospitals in Coventry in 1978 were discharged to no fixed abode.

Dr. Vaughan

I regret that the information requested is not readily available and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. I understand, however, that Coventry area health authority involves social workers when necessary in an attempt to prevent patients from being discharged without alternative accommodation.
