HC Deb 04 March 1971 vol 812 cc519-20W
Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give an estimate of the Proportion of preschool children who are taken by their parents regularly to clinics.

Mr. Alison

About 46 per cent. of children aged under 5 years attended local authority clinics at least once during 1969. Information is not available centrally about regularity of attendance or the additional numbers attending child clinics run by general practitioners.
