HC Deb 19 December 1988 vol 144 cc134-5W
Mr. Rooker

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he expects to publish the survey on the provision of care in supported lodgings and unregistered homes conducted by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys.

Mr. Mellor

The results of the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys study of supported lodgings and residential homes are included in two reports. The first report on supported lodgings also includes some results on unregistered homes and was published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office in November. The second report, on residential homes and nursing homes, will include the remaining results on unregistered homes. That report is in preparation, and OPCS hopes to publish it in the summer of next year.
