HC Deb 14 July 1993 vol 228 cc528-9W
Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent representations she has received regarding the inspection of residential and nursing homes; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Bowis

We regularly receive correspondence about the registration and inspection of residential care and nursing homes. A large number of helpful comments were received earlier this year in response to our consultation document "Inspecting Social Services", a copy of which is available in the Library.
