To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she has any proposals to further postpone the implementation of the community care reforms.

I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Monklands, West (Mr. Clarke), on 12 May at column81.

§ Mr. Blunkett
To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will publish her estimates of the cost to local authorities of community care in 1993–94; and if she will make a statement.
