HL Deb 12 July 1993 vol 548 cc1-2WA
Lord Mottistone

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether reports on the confidential enquiry into homicides and suicides by mentally ill people will be published and, if so, when the first report on homicides is expected.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Baroness Cumberlege)

The reports of the confidential inquiry into homicides and suicides by mentally ill people will be published. The first report on homicides is provisionally expected late summer 1994 but this depends on there being a sufficient number of cases to guarantee anonymity when aggregated.
