HC Deb 26 June 1992 vol 210 c350W
Miss Emma Nicholson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment she has made of the extent to which preventive psychotherapeutic work with children and young people is likely to reduce the risk of adolescent suicide, violence, drug-taking and severe sexual problems.

Mr. Yeo

These risks arise from a large number of often inter-related factors. We are not aware of any clear evidence that preventive psychotherapeutic work is likely to influence the incidence of these risks.
