HC Deb 03 April 1979 vol 965 cc573-4W
Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps he is now taking to provide district nursing officers, and district nursing sisters with cars or other forms of transport for their duties, in view of the fact that reduced tax allowances, and other economies will make it difficult for them to finance and provide their own cars for this work.

Mr. Deakins

It is for each health authority to decide the extent to which cars should be provided for use on National Health Service business.
