HC Deb 29 April 1980 vol 983 cc431-2W
22 Mr. Hal Miller

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what support he is prepared to give to the promotion of jointly funded projects with local authorities, particularly those in the area of community care of the handicapped.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I have recently notified health and local authorities of the amount allocated for the joint financing of such projects in 1980–81. The sum available will be £61 million, which represents a 15 per cent. increase in real terms on last year's allocation.
