HC Deb 04 November 1975 vol 899 c102W
52. Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will indicate what further plans she has to provide services for alcoholics.

Dr. Owen

Our proposals for the future of alcoholism services are set out in Chapter 8 of the White Paper "Better Services for the Mentally Ill", which was published on 20th October. This stresses the need for a better co-ordinated network of locally based services. Progress towards these objectives must depend upon the availability of resources.
