HC Deb 17 December 1986 vol 107 c566W
Mr. Rowe

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what information he has as to the proportions of the proceeds from sales of institutions emptied by the community care policy (a) remain in the hands of the health authorities and (b) are passed to social services departments of local authorities.

Mrs. Currie

It is open to health authorities to use the proceeds of sales for the development of local authority social services through joint financing arrangements but the Department does not routinely collect information on the extent to which they do.
