§ Mr. HinchliffeTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what is his Department's policy with regard to the establishment of large-scale care villages accommodating on a residential basis several hundred or more individuals who all require some form of social or nursing care.
§ Mr. DorrellThere is no reason in principle why large-scale care villages should not meet the registration requirements of the Registered Homes Act 1984. The decision in individual cases, however, is a matter for the local registration authority.
