HC Deb 26 October 1981 vol 10 c272W

Mr. Eggar asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied with the level of psychogeriatric care in the Enfield and Haringey area health authority: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg:

Current provision for inpatient psychogeriatric care in the Enfield health district is inadequate and the health authorities plans to open a new 28 bed unit next year. The health authorities are taking urgent steps to make better provision for psychogeriatric patients in the interim period.
