HC Deb 07 March 1994 vol 239 c84W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will ensure that the number of beds on general psychiatric wards in London is increased as a matter of urgency.

Mr. Bowis

The number of beds on general psychiatric wards in London is a matter for each local district health authority. They are responsible for assessing the needs of their local populations and ensuring that a range of services are in place to meet those needs.
