HC Deb 22 March 1967 vol 743 c288W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Health if he will state the cost to public funds in Wales in 1966 of the Meals on Wheels service and the home help service, respectively.

Mr. K. Robinson

The cost to local authorities in Wales, including Monmouthshire County Council, of the home help service was about £1,049,000 in 1965–66; the estimated cost in 1966–67 is about £1,138,000. I regret that information about expenditure on the Meals on Wheels service is not separately available.
