§ Sir Nicholas Bonsorasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what action he proposes to take to prevent the closure of the Migraine clinic, 22 Charter House Square, London EC1.
§ Sir George YoungSince 1973, the Department has been making a grant annually to the Migraine Trust towards the non-research running costs of the Princess Margaret migraine clinic. This grant has been given on the understanding that it could not be a continuing grant and that help should be sought from other sources, including the health authorities for the population served by this clinic. My right hon. Friend has recently agreed a further grant of £15,000 for the current financial year to give the trust a longer period to seek alternative help.
