HC Deb 13 March 1996 vol 273 c624W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the qualification of staff of residential accommodation for mentally ill people in(a) the community and (b) psychiatric hospitals. [19825]

Mr. Bowis

Registering authorities decide the level of qualification and suitability of staff in residential homes. Each trust determines the staff and skills that they need to deliver the service which they provide through their contracts.
