HC Deb 18 March 1985 vol 75 cc381-3W
Mr. Wareing

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how the funding programmes of the Health Education Council are distributed as between the regional health authority areas.

Mr. John Patten

The Health Education Council's funds are mainly allocated to activities undertaken at national level, although some funding is reserved for regional or local initiatives. Among these in 1984–85, £91,000 was allocated to the council's coronary heart disease project in Wales, £69,500 to the Avon council on alcoholism and £41,000 to the North East council on alchololism, and £14,000 for the joint funding with Mersey regional health authority of a regional health promotion officer post. In addition grants are made each year to district health authorities to support the cost of seconding health education officers to health education diploma courses, and in 1984–85, £250,000 was allocted for this purpose.

Mr. Whitney

The table shows the names of the re-establishment centres in England and Wales and the number and grades of staff employed on re-establishment work in each centre:
