HC Deb 18 February 1981 vol 999 c158W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services which regional health authorities have still not submitted plans for a regional secure unit; and why.

Sir George Young

Only North West Thames has yet to make a formal submission to the Department. The regional health authority (RHA) has, however, now consulted widely and has had general support for its proposals. A formal submission is expected after the RHA has appointed a consultant forensic psychiatrist.
