§ Ms JowellTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how much has been spent on training mental health staff to deal with supervision registers for the mentally ill. [21922]
§ Mr. BowisTraining on supervision registers is primarily a matter for national health service provider units and information on spending is not available 179W centrally. Staff who receive training in the care programme approach will now be informed about supervision registers. We have provided financial support for a number of national conferences designed to improve training in the care programme approach and have made a grant of £50,000 to the Open university for the production of a training pack for social services staff.
