§ Ms HarmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Education which organisations will take over the responsibilities of the education staff of the Camberwell child guidance centre; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ForthEducation staff of the Camberwell child guidance centre were supported by the Southwark local education authority which decided, after consultations with schools, to discontinue the funding after March 1994. I am informed that the staff concerned took voluntary196W severance. These are matters for the authority: the Department cannot intervene. I understand that the psychiatric service for children and young people in the area is to be reviewed by Southwark's joint community care planning group for children over the next six months.
