HC Deb 16 June 1982 vol 25 cc288-9W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, pursuant to his reply of 28 May, Official Report, column 447, if he will take steps to ascertain the numbers of hyperactive mentally-handicapped children and adults being looked after at home, whose hyperactivity precludes the use of public transport.

Mr. Rossi

No. There would be considerable problems of definition and identification if the collection of such information were to be attempted. This is not a task to which we could give any priority.
