Mr. Christopher Price
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many patients have undergone psych-surgery in each of the years 1975 to 1979.
Sir George Young
Statistics on psycho-surgery operations were not collected centrally prior to 1977, and the 1979 data are not yet available. The number of referrals for psycho-surgery operations reported by NHS hospitals in England and Wales was 44 for 1977 and 44 for 1978.
