HC Deb 22 October 1971 vol 823 cc209-10W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services in the light of recent events, whether he will now carry out an inquiry into the care and treatment of terminal patients.

Sir K. Joseph

My Department is currently supporting two studies in terminal care. One of these, which is was erected on the basis of out-dated surveys and on the basis of very small samples, may be on the high side.
