HC Deb 29 February 1960 vol 618 c101W
Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Health how many patients, compulsorily detained at the Darenth Park and Bexley Mental Hospitals, could be released on licence or discharged if places in suitable homes or hostels were available for them.

Mr. Walker-Smith

It is estimated that 125 such patients at Darenth Park, but none at Bexley, might be cared for in other suitable accommodation as an alternative to hospital care.
