HC Deb 04 December 1961 vol 650 c113W
54. Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Health, in view of the undesirability of accommodating children in wards for adults receiving treatment for mental illness and the concern that has been aroused when cases of this nature have been brought to light in recent years, if he will request hospitals to supply to his Department details of all psychotic and maladjusted children under 13 years of age kept in wards with mentally sick adults, for the purpose of taking the necessary action to remedy wherever possible the present unsatisfactory situation.

Mr. Powell

Yes.
