§ Mr. Fieldasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has had any discussions with appropriate professional training bodies with the purpose of ensuring that staff concerned with the care and rehabilitation of severely handicapped people can receive suitable training in the best use of microprocessor and other sophisticated technical aids.
§ Mr. RossiI have not had discussions with the professional training bodies about the effect of the emergence of microprocessors and other sophisticated technical aids for disabled people, but this should not present unique training problems. It is for those bodies themselves and, where appropriate, the National Training Council for the NHS to deal with developments of this sort as they affect the individual professions involved.
