The answer

Answered by Kenny MacAskill on 26 Jul 2011 · 25 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Government has not received any formal notification from the board of managers about the future of St Philip’s residential unit.
It is for the local authorities responsible for the care of young people resident at St Philip’s residential unit to work with St Philip’s and other relevant parties to ensure children and young people receive effective and well planned transitional arrangements.
