§ Mr. Flanneryasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many private nursing homes there are in the area of the Sheffield metropolitan district council; what information he has as to how often they are officially inspected; and if the general public have any means of access to the inspectors' reports.
§ Mr. WhitneyAt 31 December 1984, the latest date for which information is available centrally, there were eight private nursing homes registered with Sheffield health authority, all of which have to be inspected at least twice a year and some of which may be the subject of reports to the authority. For more recent figures and more detailed information, including the availability of inspectors' reports to the general public, the hon. Member may wish to approach the chairman of the authority.
