§ Ms. HarmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Health which hospitals routinely make accommodation available for the parents of children detained overnight in hospital.
§ Mr. FreemanThis information is not available centrally. Statistical return KHO4 includes, at district health authority level, the numbers of parents accommodated and the numbers of bed days used by parents in respect of babies up to the age of 28 days detained in hospital, but the information for the first year of this new return, in 1988–89, is incomplete.
