HC Deb 11 December 1979 vol 975 c581W
28. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what estimate his Department has made of the reduction in home help services which will result from cuts in public expenditure on the social services.

Sir George Young

How each social services authority deploys its resources depends on its judgment of local needs. It would serve no useful purpose to attempt to predict the overall effect of savings on home help services.
