HC Deb 30 October 1987 vol 121 c465W
Mr. Goodlad

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) how much was spent in each health region in each of the last five years on the care and treatment of patients suffering from schizophrenia; and what percentage each figure was of total expenditure on (a) mental and (b) all health services;

(2) what is the current annual cost overall per patient to the National Health Service in each health region of the care and treatment of patients with a main diagnosis of schizophrenia psychoses.

Mrs. Currie

I am sorry I cannot give my hon. Friend the information he seeks as it is not collected; health authorities do not analyse mental illness costs by diagnosis.
