A mental health unit near Bristol, condemned after an autistic man absconded and raped a 14-year-old girl, looks set to close.
An independent report in 2008 said The Hayes, at Pilning, must change after Darren Harkin, 21, escaped and raped the girl in Chepstow, Monmouthshire.
He had been detained at the unit under the Mental Health Act for over a year after killing his baby stepbrother.
Staff are being consulted on the proposal to close.
