§ Mr. Jacques ArnoldTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he has received the results of the evaluation of different types of residential provision for people with learning disabilities which he announced on 19 December 1995; and if he will make a statement. [35576]
§ Mr. BowisI have received the report of the first phase of the evaluation and I am considering the recommendations, including those for further work in this area. The report includes information which will be helpful to commissioners of services for people with learning disabilities and copies are therefore being sent to health and local authorities and other interested organisations. Copies of the report have been placed in the Library.
