HC Deb 10 April 1978 vol 947 cc281-2W
Sir George Young

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he proposes to review the functioning of circular 21/73 on community services for alcoholics; and when he proposes to publish his conclusions.

Mr. Ennals

The review of circular 21/73 has been deferred to take account of the report of the Advisory Committee on Alcoholism on the pattern and range of services for problem drinkers, which I have just received.

Sir George Young

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when his advisory committee on alcoholism will be publishing its report "Patterns of Services".

Mr. Ennals

The report has recently been received and will shortly be published.
