Mentally Ill And Mentally Handicapped People

Mr. Pike

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many places on a local authority basis for England are provided in local authority homes and hostels for mentally ill and mentally handicapped people.

The latest available data (provisional) relating to the position in England at 31 March 1986 are given in the table. Data on group homes may not be fully comprehensive; however, action is in hand to improve future coverage. Further details can be found in the publication, "Homes and Hostels for the Mentally Ill and Mentally Handicapped at 31 March 1985, England", copies of which are in the Library.
