27. Dr. Harris

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Transport and the Regions what assessment he has made of the impact on social service provision of the change in the level fo the SSA for personal social services. [19422]

No such assessment has been made, because the impact of any change in the level of the SSA for personal social services depends upon local authorities' decisions on the size and allocation of their budgets.
