§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the medical rehabilitation demonstration centres in Scotland; what plans he has to increase the number; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Harry EwingThe need to develop an effective medical rehabilitation service on the lines recommended by the Mair Committee was drawn to the attention of health boards in 1974 and underlined earlier this year in the publicationThe Health Service in Scotland: The Way Ahead. No demonstration centres as such have yet been established, but there have been a number of encouraging developments in this field, including the establishment of a Chair of Rehabilitation Studies at Edinburgh University.
