HC Deb 10 November 1964 vol 701 c53W
Mr. Lubbock

asked the Minister. of Health if he will state the maximum number of hours per day of domestic help provided by a local health authority under Section 29 of the National Health Service Act, 1946, for totally disabled persons.

Mr. Robinson

There is no maximum prescribed in the Act, but in deciding the amount of help which can be given in an individual case a local health authority necessarily takes into account the needs of the population of its area as a whole and the staff available to meet those needs.
