HC Deb 13 July 1988 vol 137 cc205-6W
Mr. Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many psychiatric hospitals there are in Scotland; and how many beds there are in each of them.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

For statistical purposes psychiatric hospitals are customarily taken to include mental

number of occupational therapists, the number per 1,000 of the population and the number per 1,000 of the population aged over 65 years, over 75 years and over 85 years.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

The table below sets out for each health board area in Scotland at 30 September 1987, the whole-time equivalent number of occupational therapists in post broken down into the categories as set out in the question. The figures given relate to occupational therapists employed by health boards only and do not include those employed by local authorities.

has yet been taken that either HBMD or DRS will become an agency; there is accordingly no time scale at present for implementation.
