Mr. Redmond
To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list for each (a) regional health authority and (b) each district health authority the current number of national health serrvice long-stay continuing care beds.
Mr. Dorrell
The only figures available centrally on long-stay beds relate to mental illness and learning disability. For information on numbers of geriatric beds, I refer the hon. Member to the reply that I gave the hon. Member for Peckham (Ms. Harman) on 11 February. Long-stay geriatic beds are not separately identified.
