HC Deb 21 May 1990 vol 173 c41W
Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what consideration his Department has given to the guide published by the Research Institute for Consumer Affairs and the Disabilities Study Unit entitled "Caring for Someone with AIDS"; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

The Department awarded the Research Institute for Consumer Affairs a grant of £8,000 towards the costs of compiling and editing this handbook for informal carers of people with AIDS or HIV infection. We value the role which informal carers play in the care of people with AIDS and hope that the handbook will help them in providing that care.
