asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will inquire into the shortage of permanent care facilities for severely sub-normal, or severely handicapped, children in South-East Derbyshire.

My Department has recently discussed with the Regional Hospital Board its future services for the mentally handicapped in this area and discussions will shortly take place with the Derbyshire County Council.
