§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans there are to expand provision for psychogeriatric services in health authorities covering the Greater London area in view of recent evidence submitted to him that the numbers of such patients are expected to increase by a third over the next decade.
§ Mr. John Patten[pursuant to his reply, 20 July 1984, c. 381–382]: We do not hold centrally details of current local plans and the right hon. Member may like to seek information direct from the Thames regional health authorities. We shall, however, be considering the authorities' proposals for developing these services over the next decade when we receive their strategic plans which are due to be submitted in March 1985.
