HC Deb 29 January 1980 vol 977 c597W
29. Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is satisfied with progress to establish the regional secure psychiatric units; and what further action he proposes to take to ensure that they are in operation soon.

Dr. Vaughan

There are considerable difficulties in establishing regional secure units and, regrettably, progress has been slower than we would have liked. The Government are anxious to see these units established as soon as possible.
