HC Deb 15 December 1981 vol 15 c105W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why travel costs for supplementary benefit recipients attending hospital for treatment are not included in the supplementary benefit regulations.

Mrs. Chalker

Supplementary benefit recipients attending hospital for treatment are already entitled to reimbursement of their travel costs under the National Health Service (Expenses in Attending Hospital) Regulations 1950.
