HC Deb 21 May 2003 vol 405 c848W
Tim Loughton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many hospitals operate single sex adolescent wards(a) in total and (b) as a percentage of all adolescent wards. [109942]

Mr. Hutton

The information requested is not available in this format as compliance with single sex accommodation guidelines is measured on a trust by trust basis and not at individual ward level.

Adolescent wards are expected to meet the same single sex accommodation standards advised for adult areas.
