CLOSURE OF HILDA LEWIS HOUSE

That this House deplores the decision of the Special Health Authority to close all in patient services at Hilda Lewis House, a nationally recognised centre of excellence and the only NHS facility of its type for children with severe learning difficulties and extreme behavioural problems; recognises that the loss of this valuable service will deny already vulnerable children the opportunity of much needed therapy; and demands that the closure decision be reversed and this vital service preserved.
