HC Deb 11 May 1970 vol 801 c824
47. Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the average net marginal cost to public funds of caring for one aged and infirm person in a local authority old persons' home.

Dr. John Dunwoody

I assume the hon. Member has in mind the cost to public funds of care in a residential home compared with care in the community. This information is not available.
