HC Deb 14 April 1993 vol 222 cc611-2W
Ms Lynne

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans she has to establish minimum national standards of care for care providers.

Mr. Yeo

Standards in social care are set in legislation, in codes of practice and formal guidance, and increasingly through contract specification. There are no plans to replace this wide range of controls with a single set of national minimum standards.
