§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he plans to establish any special advisory services for unemployed patients admitted to hospitals following heart attacks or unsuccessful attempts at suicide.
§ Mr. John PattenNo. But I am sending the hon. Member a copy of a report prepared by a multidisciplinary working party on the management of cases of deliberate self-harm, which we circulated to health authorities last month (circular HN (84)25); we have asked district health authorities to consider reviewing local arrangements for the management of such cases in the light of that report.
