§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will take action following the report of the National Advisory Council on Employment of Disabled People concerning liaison between health, social and employment services for the rehabilitation and resettlement of disabled people; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RossiAs the report itself suggests, the Department is first seeking views on the report's recommendations from the major health interests concerned. Views are being sought from health authorities, local authority associations and appropriate health professional bodies. In the light of all comments received, we shall later this year determine jointly with the Department of Employment and the Manpower Services Commission what Government action should be taken.
