HC Deb 24 May 1965 vol 713 c11W
Mr. John Harvey

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the assessment and treatment of many young people brought before juvenile courts is severely handicapped by the lack of adequate residential adolescent units in mental hospitals; and what action he will take to expand existing facilities.

Mr. K. Robinson

I am aware of the need to expand facilities for the treatment of mentally disturbed adolescents, and hospital authorities have been asked to do this.
