31. Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied with the provision of residential accommodation for short-time care for mentally handicapped children in the Hull and East Riding area; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alison

We are not satisfied with the present arrangements, but the regional hospital board and the local authorities concerned are jointly pursuing ways of improving them urgently.
