§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what consideration his Department has given to the pilot survey of health and disability in 494W the metropolitan borough of Bolton, undertaken by Mr. Peter M. Chisvall of the Manchester business school under the sponsorship of the Bolton community health council; if he will commend such surveys to other community health councils; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir George YoungI understand that the pilot survey was prepared for the Bolton community health council with the collaboration and active support of both the Bolton area health authority and the social services department of the metropolitan borough of Bolton and that it is being considered in Bolton. I regard such activity by community health councils as very useful and I am glad to see that the publication "CHC News" regularly draws attention of community health councils to such surveys.
