HC Deb 11 December 1991 vol 200 c446W
Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what consideration he has given to the report "Blind and Partially Sighted Adults in Britain—The RNIB Needs Survey"; what action he will be taking in relation to its findings; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dorrell

[holding answer 12 November 1991]: The report of the RNIB survey is being considered. It provides a very useful supplement to the information contained in the surveys of disability published in 1988 by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys. We anticipate that agencies in both the statutory and voluntary sectors will find it a useful additional resource in planning and developing services for blind and partially sighted people.
