HC Deb 01 February 1980 vol 977 c804W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many patients have undergone psychosurgery in Wales for each of the years 1975 to 1979.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

This information was not collected before 1977. In 1977, no such operations were carried out in Wales but five patients were referred to hospitals in England. In 1978, three patients had operations at a Welsh hospital. Information for 1979 is not yet available.
