HC Deb 19 January 1971 vol 809 c250W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will consider the creation of a physiotherapy service for housebound patients.

Mr. Alison

I am advised that such provision would not make the best use of scarce resources. The future pattern of rehabilitation service is, however, currently under consideration by a Sub-Committee of the Standing Medical Advisory Committee.
