HC Deb 23 June 1982 vol 26 cc121-2W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will seek to improve the hospital facilities for the treatment of schizophrenia patients.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The provision of hospital facilities for the treatment of schizophrenia—as of other mental illnesses—is for health authorities to provide on the basis of local need and the Government's priorities, of which mental health is one.
