§ Mr. Wareingasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the number of beds in each hospital within the area of the Mersey health authority; and what proportion is currently in use in each case.
§ Mr. John Patten[pursuant to his reply, 15 March 1984, c. 275]The latest available information is given in the table. The figures are based on a midnight count of beds and therefore do not take account the occupation of beds by day case patients who do not stay overnight.
