To ask the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will make it his policy that information circulated to people in Wales regarding the implementation of the National Health Service and Community Care Act should include information and advice on problems that may arise in the course of its implementation.

The booklet that we propose to distribute to all households in Wales will, of course, contain accurate information and advice. It will not address hypothetical problems arising from the implementation of the Act. Following the initial adjustment to the new arrangements nurseries we have every reason to believe that the advantages stemming from the reforms will be recognised and welcomed widely.
