HC Deb 21 January 1987 vol 108 cc616-21W
Mr. Gould

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the number of long-stay patients discharged from each mental hospital in England and Wales since 1981.

Mrs. Currie

The table shows the number of people discharged from each National Health Service mental illness hospital in England after a length of stay of five years or more, for each year from 1981 to 1985. Hospitals containing beds for mentally ill people only have been included. Figures for Wales are a matter for my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Wales. The figures include patients discharged from one hospital and admitted to another; for example some Rainhill patients have been transferred to other hospitals nearer their homes.

Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects to receive Sir Roy Griffiths' report on the Government's policy for community care of the mentally ill and mentally handicapped.

Mrs. Currie

As my right hon. Friend announced in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Kingswood (Mr. Hayward) on 16 December 1986, at columns461–62, Sir Roy Griffiths has been asked to complete his overview of community care policy within 12 months.

Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what guidance he gives to health authorities on procedure to be followed on the siting of homes for mentally handicapped people within the community; what discussions have taken place between officials of his Department and East Dorset health authority on this subject insofar as it relates to the proposed home at Broadlands, Verndown; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Currie

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
