HC Deb 14 April 1986 vol 95 cc263-4W
Mr. Tom Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) in which parts of Scotland, and for which groups of disabled people, surveys have been carried out in accordance with the terms of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Acts of 1970 and 1972;

(2) in which year each survey carried out under the Chornically Sick and Disabled Persons Acts was undertaken; and whether they have been regularly repeated or kept up to date in some other way.

Mr. John MacKay

Full information is not held centrally. It is for local authorities to decide how to discharge their responsibilities under the Acts, subject to any general guidance which my right hon. and learned Friend may provide.
