Mr. Hinchliffe
To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the projected amount to be transferred in April 1993 in the care element of the social security budget for residential and nursing home care; and at what stage the balance between the housing and care elements will be determined.
Miss Widdecombe
The amount of the transfer has yet to be determined. We expect to be able to make an announcement shortly about the housing element for people entering residential care and nursing homes from April 1993.
