HL Deb 31 July 1997 vol 582 c110WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many psychiatric hospitals and psychiatric wings of hospitals in England and Wales are currently disused and empty (and not the subject of contracts for sale).

Baroness Jay of Paddington

Data are only held centrally on those "water tower" hospitals which had more than 100 beds which are open. We do not collect centrally information on which psychiatric hospitals and psychiatric wings of hospitals are currently disused and empty.
