§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the number of mental illness admissions in each half-yearly period from 1987 to the most recent both nationally and in each standard health region; and in each case what is the proportion of total admissions the figure represents.
§ Mr. DorrellFigures for admissions on a half yearly basis are not readily available. Final figures are not yet available but the table provides provisional estimates for admissions to NHS hospitals and hospital units in England for each financial year 1987–88, 1988–89 and 1989–90.
