HC Deb 02 June 1949 vol 465 cc2297-8
9. Mr. Skeffington

asked the Minister of Health what financial economies he has asked for in the Home Help Service.

Mr. Bevan

I have not found it necessary to ask local health authorities to make economies in this service.

Mr. Skeffington

Is it true to say that there has been no reduction in the quality of the Home Help Service offered?

Mr. Bevan

There is no evidence of any reduction. On the other hand, I understand that in some parts of the country the Home Help Service is very good indeed.
