HC Deb 16 February 1993 vol 219 c160W
Mrs. Dun woody

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) if she will lay down guidelines on basic minimal standards of service for elderly patients discharged into community care;

(2) if she will establish a policy of active rehabilitation for those people who require a short period of more integrated and intensive care than is possible in their homes.

Mr. Yeo

A wide range of rehabilitation facilities exists within the national health service and local social services authorities. Decisions about rehabilitation services are for the professional judgment of those concerned with the individual case.
