HC Deb 19 July 1991 vol 195 c303W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was his original target for the publication of the "Review of the All Wales Strategy for the Development of Services for People with a Mental Handicap"; what is the latest estimated date of its publication; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholas Bennett

The original target date for publication of an analysis of responses to our November 1990 paper on key issues together with our outline proposals for the future was the end of April 1991. We have received almost 120 responses which, taken as a whole, are particularly detailed, thoughtful and helpful. We have been concerned to do full justice to these comments in our consideration of the programme of action from 1993. Our proposals will be published shortly, and comments invited on them by the end of November, with the aim of having as much time for responses as the original timetable.
