HC Deb 30 June 1969 vol 786 cc16-7W
54. Mrs. Knight

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider whether he will now seek to permit persons in the Part III category eligible to receive financial help to continue to receive it when they require full nursing care.

Mr. Pentland

Transfer from Part III accommodation to hospital should not alter the amount of national insurance or supplementary benefit which the patient retains for his personal needs.
