§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the meeting held in his Department on 4th March, 1971, on the suitability of adapted four-wheeled cars for severe haemophiliacs.
§ Mr. AlisonRepresentatives of the Haemophilia Society explained in detail their view of the transport problems of this particular group of disabled people and how they might best be overcome. The discussion provided a useful contribution to the many suggestions for improving the invalid vehicle service which have been received from hon. Members, private individuals and voluntary bodies concerned with other groups of the disabled with mobility problems. All these representations are being given full consideration in the course of my right hon. Friend's comprehensive review of the service.
§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if in advance of the completion of his general review of the invalid vehicle service he will make an interim report on the supply of vehicles to sufferers from severe haemophilia.
§ Mr. AlisonMy right hon. Friend is proceeding with his review of the invalid vehicle service as quickly as possible and hopes to complete it by the autumn. The review is a comprehensive one and piecemeal conclusions would not be appropriate.
