HL Deb 10 August 1972 vol 334 cc1427-8WA
LORD AMULREE

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Department of Health and Social Security will publish a special leaflet outlining supplementary benefits available and any other grants, services or allowances for persons being nursed at home, who are suffering from terminal diseases.

THE MINISTER OF STATE, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL SECURITY (LORD ABERDARE)

My De partment is at present engaged in distributing over two million copies of a booklet entitled Help for Handicapped People, a copy of which I am sending to the noble Lord. The booklet gives full information about financial benefits and health and social services available, and will be of equal value to those suffering from terminal illness at home as to those who are handicapped.
