HC Deb 09 March 1982 vol 19 cc394-5W
44. Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many disabled people have had services provided or restored following an inquiry by his Department under section 36 of the National Assistance Act 1948.

Mr. Rossi

In some cases action taken by local authorities following an inquiry by the Department affected disabled people other than those about whom the original inquiry was made. It is, therefore, impossible to give a reliable estimate of the number of people involved.
