Aids for the Disabled

HC Deb 02 December 1968 vol 774 c1026

33. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what action he is taking pursuant to the report of the British Medical Association on Aids for the Disabled, a copy of which is in his possession.

Mr. Ennals

We are at present considering the report.

Mr. Willey

As many of the recommendations can be carried out administratively, will my hon. Friend expedite this consideration and as soon as possible publish a reply saying what steps he feels able to take?

Mr. Ennals

I am giving urgent consideration to a number of the proposals. Some of them are quite complicated, requiring much more than administrative decision. But it is a very valuable report, and it has been treated very seriously. I will let my right hon. Friend know the outcome.
