HC Deb 24 October 1966 vol 734 c93W
Sir E. Bullus

asked the Minister of Health if he will seek to amend the law to allow psychiatric patients who have wandered from their hospital to be accepted by the psychiatric hospital nearest to where they are found; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. K. Robinson

No. There is no legal impediment to the admission of a wandering patient to any hospital willing to admit him.
