HC Deb 11 April 1984 vol 58 c286W
Mr. Bermingham

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what statistics his Department will keep in relation to the operation of Part IV of the Mental Health Act 1983; and if he will make such statistics available to this House.

Mr. John Patten

The Department is not keeping statistics on the operation of Part IV of the Mental Health Act 1983 (Consent to Treatment). The Mental Health Act Commission is monitoring the use of these provisions and will be reporting to the House next year.
