HC Deb 03 February 1949 vol 460 c253W
83. Sir H. Lucas-Tooth

asked the Minister of Health how many local health authorities are making charges for domestic help provided under their powers of Section 29 of the National Health Service Act, 1946; and whether the Assistance Board are adjusting grants to allow for these payments.

Mr. Bevan

The information asked for in the first part of the Question is being collected and I will send it to the hon. Member. As charges made depend upon ability to pay, no adjustment of any National Assistance Board payments is required
