Handicapped and Impaired People (Survey)

HC Deb 05 July 1983 vol 45 c51W

Mr. Hannam

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish details of the plans to update the Amelia Harris 1968–69 survey of handicapped and impaired people in Great Britain; whether it will be a 100 per cent. identification survey covering all ages and all countries in Great Britain; what organisations have been consulted about the survey, who will be carrying out the survey; how much the survey will cost; and when he expects the survey to be completed.

Mr. Newton

Work on the feasibility of a new survey is still at an early stage.
