HC Deb 26 March 1987 vol 113 cc254-5W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will investigate the reason why persons suffering from senile dementia in the Banff and Buchan constituency are being placed in a mental hospital instead of a normal hospital ward; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John MacKay

Decisions about the hospitals in which patients from Banff and Buchan are treated involve issues of clinical judgment and it would not be appropriate for my right hon. and learned Friend to investigate such matters.
