§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what support he has made available in connection with national eczema week.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergI am aware of the valuable contribution made by the National Eczema Society on behalf of eczema suffers and of the success of its activities. Since 1978 the Department has encouraged the society with an annual revenue grant—£10,000 in 1982—to help meet its administrative costs. National eczema week has become an integral part of the Society' fund raising activities and also serves to focus attention on the problems of people who suffer from this distressing condition.
