§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what financial resources have been made available to health education councils in Scotland for each of the years from 1978–79 to 1981–82.
§ Mr. John MacKayI have been asked to reply.
There are no health education councils in Scotland. The functions of the former Scottish Council for Health Education were amalgamated with those of the former Scottish health education unit on 1 April 1980 to form the Scottish Health Education Group. Expenditure incurred by these bodies was as follows:
Year £ million 1978–79 1.122 1979–80 1.32 1980–81 1.54 1981–82 *1.889 * Provisional.
