HC Deb 14 March 1983 vol 39 c51W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services on what authority patients at St. Mary's hospital, Stannington, Northumberland, are being denied their social security benefit unless they produce evidence of what is described as good behaviour.

Mr. Rossi

No patients at St. Mary's hospital, Stannington, are denied the social security benefit to which they are entitled. Some patients participate in a scheme in which they seek to achieve objectives in a training and rehabilitative programme and in which they receive rewards for their successes.
