§ Mrs. Doris Fisherasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how he intends to allocate the extra financial assistance already agreed for mental disorders as between local authorities, regional hospital boards and voluntary societies.
§ Sir K. JosephAs I said in the House on 11th November, the additional money available for the care of the mentally ill and the mentally handicapped will be split roughly half local authority, half hospital. I have not yet decided how much of the additional money for voluntary organisations will be devoted to those operating in these fields.—[Vol 806, c. 391–8.]
