§ Mr. McElhoneasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much money has been allocated by the Government to increase the number of units for the young chronic sick in Scotland.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellAs stated in the reply given to the hon. Member on 3rd May, Regional Hospital Boards are aware of their responsibilities to do their best to provide suitable accomodation for the young chronically sick. The provision of such accommodation is usually appropriate to the Boards' own building programmes, schemes within which are selected by the Board themselves. The Government have increased the financial resources available for these programmes.—[Vol. 836, c.139.]
