HC Deb 19 March 1986 vol 94 cc226-7W
Mr. Galley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what are the average weekly running costs per capita by region of local authority residential homes for the elderly, including all administrative overheads and loan charges.

Mr. Whitney

The information is not available in the form requested. The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy publishes annual volumes "Personal Social Services Statistics"; the information given is derived from its latest (1984–85) information but will exclude administration and management costs.
