I appreciate that the handbook will be displayed in various places, including public libraries, doctors’ surgeries, hospitals and so on, but the general public need to know that. The document I have here is useful and it would not cost too much to send it to every household in the country. There could be an edition which informs people where they can see the full handbook and directs them to their nearest public library or wherever else it may be. That would be helpful in letting people know exactly what they can expect from the health service and what duties they have to it. Perhaps the Government will consider that.
