Mr. Ennals

My Department's Research Liaison Groups do not disburse research funds on a regional basis. Their main function is to determine research objectives and priorities within their field of interest and to commission research from whatever body is best placed to carry out the work. Applications for research funds are judged on their scientific merit and relevance. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of the DHSS Research and Development Report and Handbook for 1977, lists of research projects which my Department is directly supporting in mental handicap and mental illness, and copies of the documents setting out the Research Liaison Groups' priorities for future research in these fields.
