HC Deb 13 November 1979 vol 973 c562W
Mr. Joseph Dean

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what criteria are used in assessing what should be spent weekly on the food provided for meals for elderly people who are resident in homes which are under the control of local authority social services departments.

Sir George Young

There are no criteria specified nationally. This is a matter for determination by social services authorities in the light of local circumstances.
