Mr. Rathboneasked the Minister of Health in how many cases institutions for the care of mentally defective children are being used simultaneously for the care of normal children; whether, in these cases, normal and mentally defective children are segregated from each other; and how many children of normal mental development are involved?
§ Mr. ElliotThere is only one institution for mentally defective children which is used simultaneously for the care of normal children. This institution is certified by the Board of Control for 24 mentally defective children and the accommodation for these children is quite separate from that provided for the normal children, of whom there are, approximately, 1,300.
