HC Deb 25 November 1981 vol 13 c407W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will allocate more funds to health education projects to enable them to concentrate upon investigating and then co-ordinating with local authorities in the detection and correction of conditions in the home that produce chronic and debilitating injuries in the elderly, with a view to reducing the need for prolonged hospitalisation.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

It is for the health authorities to determine the resources they can make available for preventive measures, including health education projects.
