HC Deb 20 April 1971 vol 815 c375W
44. Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will appoint a committee to look into the whole question of geriatrics.

Sir K. Joseph

No. Adequate machinery for advice on geriatric services is already available. Such services form only part of the health and social services needed for the elderly. I am arranging for various studies on this wider question.
