HC Deb 05 June 1972 vol 838 cc39-40W
Mr. McBride

asked the Secretary of State for Wales to what extent he has examined the problem of aphasic children in Wales in relation to educational facilities; and if he will state what special provisions are made now, or would be made in the future, for residential schools for such children.

Mr. Peter Thomas

I am looking into the problem of aphasic children as part of my wider examination of children who suffer from communication difficulties. Two residential schools for such children are being provided to serve North and South Wales, respectively, and I am considering the possibility of a further unit to serve West Wales.
