I presume that the question refers to my address at the opening of the Symposium of the European Association of Programmes in Health Services Studies on 4 November 1980. The study of the existing maternity and infant care scheme, to which I referred in that address, is still in progress. I will examine the question of any legislative changes that may be required in the light of the findings of the study. I expect that the study will be completed early in the new year.
