To ask the Secretary of State for Health by what date the planned 1,000 medium secure beds will be available.

Mr. Bowis

There are currently over 600 medium secure unit beds available. A further 580 additional beds are planned nationally and we expect these to be open by 1996, taking the total to over 1,200.
