§ Mr. Simon CoombsTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many children up to 18 years of age are(a) mentally handicapped, (b) physically handicapped and (c) both, by health region and by severity of disability.
§ Mr. FreemanThe information requested is not available centrally. The third report from the OPCS on disability in Great Britain, "The Prevalence of Disability Among Children" contains estimates of the number of mentally and/or physically handicapped children under 16 years of age in each local government region of England, but these regions are not regional health authority areas. A copy of this report is in the Library.
