§ Mr. McManusasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he is aware of the efforts of the Fermanagh Voluntary Health Association to establish a rehabilitation centre at Enniskillen; and what assistance he is prepared to offer.
§ Mr. ChannonYes. Officers of the Ministry of Health and Social Services in Northern Ireland have recently taken part in discussions with the Fermanagh Voluntary Association of the Handicapped, and as a result it is the Ministry's intention to make available to the association an extensive site convenient to Enniskillen for the establishment of a rehabilitation centre and connected outdoor activities. The association is aware that as this is a local venture the questiton of financial assistance is one for the local welfare authority, which would however receive a 50 per cent. grant from the Ministry on any sum approved.
