Mr. McCartneyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what records his Department has kept, and now keeps, of the numbers of people who have been helped by the provisions of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act.
§ Mr. NewtonRecords are not kept specifically relating to services provided under the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act. The annual publication "Domiciliary Services: Needs, Aids and Adaptations" in the Department's series of local authority personal social service statistics, contains information on the number of cases, by local authority, receiving certain services which may be provided under that Act or under other legislation.
