§ Mrs. Gillian ShephardTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish in theOfficial Report a table showing the number of long-stay patients discharged from each mental handicap hospital in England and Wales since 1981.
§ Mr. FreemanProvision of the information for each hospital would involve disproportionate cost. The table shows, for each district health authority, the number of discharges, excluding transfers and deaths, of mentally handicapped patients after a stay of one year or more in an NHS mental handicap hospital or unit in England. The figures in the table may not exactly equate to numbers of people, because some may have been discharged several times during the period. The information for 1981 could not be provided without disproportionate cost due to boundary changes to the district health authorities' areas. The information for Wales is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
