HC Deb 30 January 1970 vol 794 cc422-4W
Mr. Hazen

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he considered the representations in respect of brutality to patients and embezzlement of their moneys at Hellesdon Hospital; what steps he proposes to take in these matters; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Crossman

Preliminary inquiries by officers of my Department confirmed that certain offences alleged in these representations were such as to call for police investigation. The police were accordingly informed and are carrying out an investigation.
