44. Sir T. Kitson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied with social service provision for those aged 75 years and over.

Mr. Moyle

We are satisfied that within the resources available at present both health and local authorities are doing their utmost to provide satisfactory care for the elderly. However, the increasing number of people aged 75 and over raises many important issues, which is one of the reasons why my right hon. Friend and my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Wales will shortly be publishing a discussion document on the elderly.
