HC Deb 05 February 1992 vol 203 c204W
Mr. Kennedy

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what arrangements for transfer of dowry funds with resettled mental handicap patients to local authorities have been made in each regional health authority; under what terms these payments are made; and if he will list by regional health authority the sums transferred each year on this basis.

Mr. Hanley

The principle of dowry transfer to local authorities does not apply in Northern Ireland because of the integrated nature of the provision of health and personal social services.
