asked the Minister of Health what improvements have resulted, or will result, in the matters within his responsibility, from the letter of 2nd November, 1965 to local authorities and local hospital authorities concerning access to public buildings for the disabled; and if he will make a statement.

I am confident that local authorities and hospital boards and committees for whose services I am responsible will co-operate in attending to these detailed but important points of building design, now that these have been brought to their attention.
