HC Deb 13 April 1970 vol 799 cc157-8W
58. Mr. Kitson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations have been made to his Department from the Catterick Accident Aftercare Unit for financial support; what assistance he intends to give; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. John Dunwoody

I am aware of no specific representations. Analysis of the available information relating to this scheme gives no firm evidence of any effect on mortality or length of stay in hospital. Before reaching final conclusions about the value of projects of this kind we have arranged for a study to be made of comparable schemes now in operation on the Continent.
