§ 47. Mr. Hornbyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how he intends to improve the administrative procedure of delivery of aids and appliances to the disabled.
§ Mr. EnnalsMy right hon. Friend proposes no immediate changes, but he will examine the various suggestions that have been made.
§ Mr. HornbyWould the hon. Gentleman undertake to do this with some urgency, since the distress caused by some of the delays that have been reported are, as he knows, extremely serious?
§ Mr. EnnalsYes, Sir. That matter will be looked into. An important report has been submitted by the B.M.A. Planning Unit on Aids for the Disabled. Some of its proposals raise complications, but I assure the hon. Gentleman that the matter will be looked into urgently.
