§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in order to reassure those in the profession, he will make a statement on his remarks at a recent social service directors' conference at Durham, to the effect that the acceptibility and the effectiveness of some forms of care are increasingly questioned.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinI am sending a full text of my speech at the Durham conference to the hon. Member. He will see that my main themes were the need to regard the statutory and the voluntary social services as complementing each other and the need to find in each locality the most effective and acceptable relationship between the two.
