§ Mr. Raymond S. RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many patients have been treated since the start of the Scottish Office national programme for the rehabilitation of the brain-injured at each of the three nationally designated brain injury units at Mondarstown castle, the Astley Ainslie hospital and the Royal Edinburgh hospital; what is the breakdown of patients from each referring health board for each unit; if he will list for each health board the total number of patients who have used the service since it started; and if he will express these numbers as a ratio per 100,000 of the population in the health board area.
§ Mr. StewartThe information is not available in the form requested. The following table, based on 1992 figures, shows the number of patient weeks for which a central subsidy was paid to each individual health board. This is also shown as a percentage of overall occupancy at the unit concerned. The final column shows the proportion of patients originating in each health board area as a percentage of total patients in the three units.
