Mr. Gwilym Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the budget for the Health Promotion Authority for Wales in 1992–93.

Mr. David Hunt

Subject to parliamentary approval, in 1992–93 a total of £2,830,000 will be made available for the authority's core allocation, and a further £355,000 will be allocated for new projects. An additional £29,000 will be available as a further earmarked reserve to meet the cost of the authority's contribution to the family planning information service, and in addition £20,000 will be available to fund the authority's capital expenditure. Finally, for 1992–93 only, the Department will make a further £126,000 available for the authority's life education centres project. The allocation will be conditional upon satisfactory completion of annual performance review. It represents a further and substantial commitment of resources to the authority.
