Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What response they have made to the suggestion by Graham Robertson, Richard Pearson and Robert Gibb in The Mentally Disordered and the Police, Home Office Research Findings No. 21, that a special psychiatric facility should be established in central London to assess and care for those the police consider mentally ill.

Baroness Cumberlege:

District health authorities are responsible for decisions on strategy for mental health services. Copies of Home Office Research Findings No. 21 have been made available for consideration by the relevant authorities in inner London.
