HC Deb 12 November 1985 vol 86 c147W
14. Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give additional support to the expansion of rehabilitation services for the elderly.

Mr. Whitney

The central objective of our policies for elderly people is to enable as many as possible to lead independent lives at home. Services to cope with the effects of disability and increasing frailty are growing steadily. It is our intention to ensure that this record of improvement continues.
