HC Deb 31 March 1981 vol 2 c73W
39. Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Social services whether he is satisfied with the procedures relating to the admission of psychologically disturbed prisoners to mental hospitals.

Dr. Vaughan

I am aware that difficulties still sometimes arise over particular cases. However, I am encouraged that over the past two years the number of transfers from prison to hospital was considerably greater than previously. If my hon. Friend has a case in mind, I should be glad to have it looked into.
