§ 42. Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Health what action has been taken by the Walsingham, Norfolk, Board of Guardians, following the visit of Inspector Bushell, to segregate children from mental defectives?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Sir Kingsley Wood)All children over three years of age have now been removed from this institution; the only mentally deficient persons associating with the children in the institution are the mothers of those children.
§ Colonel DAYIs it not a fact that the inspector stated that some of the children had to sleep with mental defectives?
