HC Deb 01 December 1980 vol 995 c50W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will cause an investigation to be made into the case of Joanne Dainton's difficulties and frustrations in returning to the authorities £500 of medical aid equipment, details of which have been supplied to him: whether he will publish the results of such investigations: and whether he will cause a survey to be made to ascertain how many similar types of case have occurred during the past 12 months.

Dr. Vaughan

I appreciate the difficulties people may experience in returning equipment, particularly when a number of sources are involved, and I am considering what action may be possible to ease these problems.
