(2) how much money was granted by his Department in 1977–78 to regional health authorities for the construction of regional secure units.

Mr. Moyle

Funds are made available to regional health authorities to meet the approved capital cost of providing regional secure units. In 1977–78, five regional health authorities requested and were given £226,000 to meet their estimates of preliminary expenditure, of which it is now estimated that £107,000 was spent in the year.
