§ 77. Mr. Wallaceasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider providing for the use of disabled people, in co-operation with local health authorities, a simple guide to financial and other services provided by Government agencies and those provided by voluntary bodies in local areas for such disabled persons.
§ Mr. CrossmanThe various cash benefits of the social security schemes are detailed in "Everybody's Guide to Social Security", a new edition of which is in preparation and will be published in the autumn.
A single guide dealing with local services provided throughout the country would not be feasible, but my Department 168W has always encouraged local authorities to produce handbooks about their services and how to use them. I am glad to say that many authorities do this.
