HC Deb 25 April 1983 vol 41 c232W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many psychogeriatric hospital places in Wales there are; and which health authorities provide no such places.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Whilst all health authorities make in-patient provision for psychogeriatric patients, only Gwent and Mid-Glamorgan authorities designate the beds used for this purpose as psychogeriatric beds. In these two authorities in the three months to September 1982, the latest quarter for which information is available, the average number of available beds classified as psychogeriatric was 262 and 26 respectively.
