HC Deb 20 July 1984 vol 64 cc380-1W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many health districts do not have a psychogeriatric consultant.

Mr. John Patten

Psychogeriatrics is not a speciality recognised by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and there is no routine information held centrally on the number of adult psychiatrists who specialise in the care of the elderly.
