§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many local authorities have taken advantage of her circulars DH196/3 and 196/21 dated 4th June 1973 on the supply of environmental aids for the disabled; what response she has had from local authorities to these circulars; how many have been provided; how many have been rejected; and if she will make a statement.
§ Mr. Alfred MorrisSimpler environmental control devices are but some of a wide range of personal aids which may be supplied by local authority social services departments. We do not, however, collect separate figures for each type of equipment.
