HL Deb 13 November 1979 vol 402 c1240WA
Baroness FISHER of REDNAL

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will provide information regarding hospitals for the mentally handicapped which have special units for blind persons.

Lord CULLEN of ASHBOURNE

Because of problems of definition, special units for particular categories of residents in mental handicap hospitals (including those for blind persons) are not necessarily identified in centrally held records. Visually handicapped people in these hospitals may receive specialist training either in special units, special wards or individually.
