§ Mr. JackTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services when Lady Wagner's review of residential care for the elderly was begun; and what factors are preventing its publication before January 1989.
§ Mrs. CurrieWhen the appointment of Lady Wagner as chairman of the review of residential care was announced by the National Institute for Social Work in December 1985 it was stated that the review would cover residential care for people of all ages and was expected to be completed in two years. The timing of the publication of the report is a matter for the institute and Lady Wagner but we understand it is planned for the near future.
