asked the Minister for Education whether he intends to establish psychiatric treatment even on an experimental scale at Marlboro' House Detention Home.
Comment on this
I do not propose to provide psychiatric treatment at the institution mentioned. Boys are detained there only for very short periods, the average being from a week to ten days, and the maximum a month, and I am advised that effective psychiatric treatment would require a much longer period.
