Written Answers. - Mentally Handicapped Care.

50.

asked the Minister for Health if it is the Government's policy that mentally handicapped patients should be moved out of hospital into the community; and the resources the Government are making available for this purpose.

It is my policy in caring for mentally handicapped persons to transfer as many of them from institutions as are suitable to more appropriate services in the community through the redeployment of resources from the institutions concerned.
