asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will consider the publication and circulation of a composite and fully indexed health and social welfare handbook on a loose-leaf basis so that interim changes in benefits, etc., may be immediately inserted.

Information in permanent form about the health and social welfare services is at present made available through the leaflet Summary of Health Services and the booklet Summary of Social Insurance and Assistance Services. These are revised and republished whenever changes are made in the services to which they relate. I am inclined to regard this as a more suitable arrangement than the one the Deputy suggests. I may add that I have given directions that the social welfare booklet be simplified as far as possible and its lay-out improved on next reprint.
