§ Lord Balnielasked the Minister of Health whether the 70 additional beds to be provided for mentally ill patients at St. Thomas's Hospital will be solely for adolescents.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThe intention is to provide 70 beds for the treatment of adults and adolescents aged sixteen and upwards and to design the accommodation so that patients may be separated by age, sex and condition as appropriate. I regret that this was not stated in my reply to the noble Lord's Question on 29th June.
