§ Miss Wrightasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is his estimate of the number of people, listed by regional health authority, considered suitable for discharge from mental-subnormality hospitals to the community.
§ Dr. VaughanDecisions on the suitability of hospital treatment depend upon assessments of individual patients and the results of such assessments are not held centrally. It is therefore not possible to provide the estimates requested by the hon. Member.
