HC Deb 04 December 1973 vol 865 c329W
45. Mr. Nicholas Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has yet completed his reexamination of the practicability of providing reimbursement of travelling expenses incurred by parents of children in hospital ; and whether he will make a statement.

Sir K. Joseph

Not yet, Sir. The problem is not only to work out a practicable scheme but, as a first consideration, to weigh the merits of such a scheme against competing claims on limited resources.
