§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will list for each local authority the number of residents(a) in part III homes and (b) transferred from local authority homes to trust status homes and therefore in receipt of income support.
§ Miss WiddecombeInformation on the number of residents in part III homes (for England only) by local authority is contained in "Residential Accommodation for Elderly and Younger Physically Handicapped People: Local Authority Supported Residents Year Ending 31 March 1990 England" (RA/90/1), a copy of which is available in the Library. Information on the number of residents affected by the transfer of local authority part III homes to the private or voluntary sector is not collected centrally. Entitlement to income support for residents of such homes is a matter for the local adjudication officer, but since 12 August 1991 has been restricted to the part III rate for those people resident at the time of transfer.
