HC Deb 01 December 1980 vol 995 cc53-4W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take immediate steps to remove a 12-year-old boy currently in Moss Side hospital and place him in a more appropriate place.

Sir George Young

I have taken a close interest in this boy's position and have met him during my recent visit to the hospital. I agree that it is most important that he should leave the special hospital as soon as appropriate and 1 am writing to the hon. Member to explain the position in greater detail.
