Former MP for Liverpool Exchange
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what new categories of disabled drivers will receive four-wheel vehicles.
Would the Minister explain why there is no other category for the four-wheel disablement vehicle?
The Minister has talked about the producer. Can he give us some information about the effect upon the housewife?
Will my hon. Friend consider the system which Liverpool has adopted, under which there is free transport for elderly people holding an aged person's pass, and, before the party opposite took control of Liverpool, arrangements were made by the Labour-controlled local authority to reduce, year by year, the age at which a free pass was given?
Is my right hon. Friend satisfied that when a patient is going to be discharged the requirements of the Mental Health Act, 1959, are being adhered to, namely, that there is liaison between the hospital, the general practitioner, and the mental welfare services of the local authority?
Is it not time that the whole question of admission to hospital was looked into? If a person can pay, he can get priority in admission. Is it not time that our National Health Service put an end to this sort of thing?
Is my hon. Friend aware that Liverpool has given a very great lead in this respect; and that if it were possible for the Minister to refer to the tremendous amount of good work our young people are doing in this connection, instead of giving all the publicity to anything bad they do, it would be very useful throughout the country?
Can my right hon. Friend say what the effect of his Price Review will be upon the housewife?
