§ Mr. Barry FieldTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list those district health authorities which are most advanced in the provision of care for the mentally ill in the community.
§ Mr. FreemanMany district health authorities are responsible for examples of good practice in relation to health care for people with a mental illness being treated in the community and I referred to some in the written answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Eddisbury (Mr. Goodlad) on 13 July at columns620–25. We do not have within the Department the information necessary to compile a definitive list of such districts.
