Abuse at care homes such as Winterbourne View was a "national scandal" that "has to end", health minister Norman Lamb has said.
Last week six people were jailed for their role in abusing patients at the private hospital near Bristol after an investigation by BBC's Panorama.
"What has been exposed by Panorama is utterly intolerable and has to come to an end," Mr Lamb told the Commons.
He confirmed that there were still safety concerns about six ex-patients.
The government's full response to the abuse at Winterbourne View will be published in November, he told MPs in response to an urgent question in Commons, tabled by shadow health minister Liz Kendal.
On Monday Panorama revealed new safety alerts had been raised about 19 of the 51 patients who were abused at Winterbourne View but who now live at other care homes.
Not all of the safeguarding alerts issued meant that the patient had been harmed.
Mr Lamb said: "Years and years of public money being spent on putting people into inappropriate settings, often putting them at risk of abuse - this is a national scandal and it has to end."
Mr Lamb said that he was "absolutely determined" that the government's final response "will be robust and clear".
