§ Ms. Harmanasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the annual cost of the Camberwell resettlement unit in each of the years 1972 to 1982, inclusive.

£ 1975–76 1,200,220 1976–77 1,085,812 1977–78 1,172,033 1978–79 1,226,072 1979–80 1,410,921 1980–81 2,013,516 1981–82 2,408,615
§ Ms. Harmanasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the total amount of the capital allocation, the capital already committed and the projected annual revenue allocation his Department is making for the Camberwell replacement programme under the following heads (a) housing itemised by low-medium care bedspaces, high care bedspaces, direct access bedspaces and additional bedspaces in existing resettlement units (b) day centre facilities and similar schemes (c) the employment of resettlement and homemaker teams in addition to those already employed within resettlement units (d) health care facilities to replace those lost at Camberwell resettlement unit and (e) new employment and training initiatives for people resettled from Camberwell resettlement unit and other resettlement units in London.
§ Dr. Boyson[pursuant to his reply, 5 December 1983, c. 68–69]: The Department's financial commitment to the Camberwell replacement scheme—CRS—under schedule 5 of the Supplementary Benefits Act 1976, is as follows:
(1) Capital—funds will be made available to meet the cost of 200 hostel bedspaces. Some of the money may be made available to local authorities for direct access hostels; the rest will be paid to housing associations, via the Housing Corporation, for them to provide high care and low-to-medium care hostels. Schemes amounting to 98 bedspaces—26 of which are high care—costing £1.167 million have been approved to date. The capital cost of the remaining 785 beds in the CRS will he met by the Housing Corporation.(2) Revenue—"topping up" funds for all 985 bedspaces will be provided at an eventual cost of approximately £1 million per year.There is no scope under schedule 5 for either capital or revenue funding of separate day centre facilities, resettlement and homemaker teams, health care facilities or employment and training initiatives. However, where individual projects employ homemakers or resettlement teams or retain a visiting medical officer or nurse the costs may be borne by "topping up".
The cost of providing 70 additional direct access beds in the other London units will depend upon decisions yet to be taken on the precise nature of the alternative arrangements required.
