HC Deb 07 July 1981 vol 8 c100W
21. Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many patients awaiting transfer from special hospitals were transferred last month; and what future plans he has to increase the number of transfers.

Sir George Young

Twenty patients were transferred from special hospitals to National Health Service hospitals during June 1981. I intend to review the progress made in the first six months of this year in the light of the reports which I received on this subject from regional health authority chairmen earlier in the year before considering what future steps to take.
