§ Mr. SteinbergTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what information he has on the estimated total number of hours received by clients of the home-help service of Durham county council for the years 1987–88 and 1988–89.
§ Mr. MellorWe do not collect this information centrally. Information about the number of hours received by elderly clients from home helps is collected by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy and published in "Personal Social Service Statistics—Actuals" for each financial year. The latest publication available is for 1987–88. Copies are available in the Library.
