§ Mr. Irvingasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will amalgamate the tables analysing figures for places for mentally ill people in local authority day centres and National Health Service day hospitals so as to show what day care provision is available to such people by (a) district health authority and (b) local authority.
§ Mr. CurrieThe amalgamated tables requested are not readily available because not all district health authority areas are conterminous with local authority areas: a list of conterminous areas was provided in my predecessor's reply to the hon. Member for Brent, South (Mr. Pavitt) on 9 June 1986 at columns99–104.
Information on the number of places in local authority day centres solely for mentally ill people, analysed by local authority is published in "Day centres for the Mentally Ill, the Elderly and the Younger Physically Handicapped at 31 March 1985, England", copies of which have been placed in the Library. Information collected centrally does not separately identify places for mentally ill people in day centres which cater for mixed client groups but it is planned to collect such detail in future.
Figures for the number of places for mentally ill people in National Health Service day hospitals in England by district health authority as at 31 December 1985 are given in the table.
