74. Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will establish a public rehabilitation service outside the Hospital Service to enable the permanently disabled to have maximum aid and training to live independently, earn a living and obtain education; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alison

Local authorities provide services of this kind for disabled people, including assistance in daily living, and are developing the services as resources permit.
