§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in the light of the fact that some local authorities are not fulfilling their statutory obligations under the terms of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1974, he will detail what action he has taken so far to compel them to do so; and what further action he proposes.
§ Mr. EnnalsMy hon. Friend the Minister specially responsible for the Disabled, and officials of my Department, are in close and constant touch with local authorities about provisions under the Act, and allegations of failure to provide services are always followed up. But if my hon. Friend has any particular case that he wishes me to investigate I shall be glad to do so.
