Mr. Rooker
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he will update the answer given to the hon. Member for Birmingham, Perry Barr, Official Report, 2 February 1978, column 266, regarding debts incurred by pay bed patients;(2) if he will update the answer given to the hon. Member for Birmingham, Perry Barr, on 12 June 1978, regarding recovery of debts incurred by pay bed patients following law suits.
Dr. Vaughan
