HC Deb 13 July 1964 vol 698 c168W
Mr. Drayson

asked the Minister of Health whether it is his intention to release accommodation in former public assistance institutions in the West Riding of Yorkshire, at present in use for housing elderly people.

Mr. Braine

Some 1,740 elderly people, rather over half of those in care, are now accommodated by the West Riding County Council in former Public Assistance institutions. By 1972, the council plans to replace all these institutions by small homes, each of 35 places.
