§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the cost of examining one year's entries in the register of medical boarding held at a regional office in order to identify the PD39 cases; and what would be the cost of extracting one year's PD39 cases from local office files for examination at a central point.
§ Mr. PrenticeIt is estimated that the average cost of examining one year's entries in the register of medical boarding held at a single regional office, to identify PD39 cases, would be about £9. The cost of extracting one year's PD39 cases from local office files in a single region for examination at a central point would be about £8.
