HC Deb 11 March 1969 vol 779 c262W
57. Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received objecting to his Circular No. 21/1968 on health and welfare services; and what replies he has sent.

Mr. Ross

The only representations I received about this circular concerned the postponement of the implementation of Section 15 of the Health Services and Public Health Act, 1968. In reply I have indicated that in deciding on a date for implementation I shall have to have regard to the pressure on local authority resources.
