HC Deb 28 November 1966 vol 737 cc8-9W
Mr. Winnick

asked the Minister of Health whether he will send a circular to local welfare authorities to encourage them to provide non-residential centres for elderly people to provide meals and snacks at a subsidised cost.

Mr. Loughlin

In their development plans published last June local authorities showed their appreciation of the importance of these centres, and my right hon. Friend does not think that a circular is necessary at present.
