§ Mrs. MahonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent discussions he has had with interested groups concerning the Griffiths report on community care.
§ Mr. MellorWe have discussed community care at the regular meetings we hold, with the local authority associations and with chairmen of regional health authorities, to consider items of current interest in health and social services. We remain of the view that further discussions with interested parties will be most useful when our present deliberations have been completed and our proposals for the future organisation of community care are made public.
