§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services in how many hospitals catering for psychogeriatric patients he considers there to be adequate availability of physiotherapists and occupational therapists for such patients.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergProvisional figures at 30 September 1980 indicate that out of 103 mental illness hospitals and units with 200 or more beds, 81 and 101 respectively had physiotherapists and occupational therapists on the staff; comparable information about smaller hospitals is not readily available. The information at our disposal does not show the extent to which these services were available to elderly patients in these hospitals.
