HC Deb 06 March 1973 vol 852 c63W
32. Mr. Montgomery

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether all local health authorities are now providing chiropody services for old people; and if he is satisfied that the present provision of these services is adequate.

Mr. Alison

All local health authorities in England provide a service and the numbers of elderly people treated increased by 20 per cent. between 1967 and 1971. Still more needs to be done, however, if all elderly people needing treatment are to receive it.
