§ 45. Mr. Hooleyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she has received the conclusions of the working party set up by Sheffield Area Health Authority to study the demand for children's orthopaedic services in Sheffield; and what progress is being made by her departmental investigation of children's orthopaedic services with particular 99W regard to the orthopaedic problems of handicapped children including those with paralytic and congenital types of deformity.
§ Dr. OwenI have not yet received the working party's report but understand I am to do so shortly. The departmental study which I referred to in my letter of 2nd April to my hon. Friend was concerned only with the need for regional centres in children's orthopaedic surgery.
