HC Deb 16 February 1993 vol 219 cc158-9W
Lady Olga Maitland

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many beds were available in locked wards for mentally ill patients in(a) 1984 and (b) 1992–93.

Mr. Yeo

This information is not collected centrally. Reports from health authorities suggest that there were 639 such beds in local district facilities in 1991, compared with 1,163 in 1986. This excludes places in regional secure units and other facilities for patients needing care in conditions of medium security.
