HC Deb 25 February 1999 vol 326 c429W
Dr. Tonge

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he intends to publish his plans for long-term nursing care. [72592]

Mr. Hutton

We have already set in hand a number of initiatives to improve long-term care services—particularly those set out in our White Paper "Modernising Social Services". We also await the report of the Royal Commission on Long Term Care of the Elderly, due very shortly.
