The answer

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

The Scottish Government have not received formal notification about the future of St Philip’s secure unit. However, I understand that, at the request of the board of managers of St Philip’s, Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (PACE) have met with managers and staff of St Philip’s and presentations for staff commenced on 4 July 2011.
