HC Deb 06 July 1979 vol 969 c767W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now cause information to be collected by his Department on (a) the number of children suffering from arthritis, (b) the number of children suffering from less severe rheumatic pains and (c) the number of children with arthritis who are receiving treatment at special clinics or centres.

Sir George Young

No, I do not think that this would be justified.

Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects to complete his consideration of the report, "Children with Arthritis".

Sir George Young

I cannot yet say.
