HC Deb 14 March 1996 vol 273 c754W
Mr. Luff

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the local authority social services departments that make charges for aids for elderly and disabled people. [20757]

Mr Bowis

Information reported by authorities shows that some two thirds of social services departments in England gained no income from fees or charges in relation to adaptations to homes or the provision of disability equipment for elderly or physically or sensorily disabled people in the financial year 1993–94. Specific information about individual authorities' charges are not available centrally.
