§ Dr. Godmanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what cash specifically earmarked to each of the haemophiliac reference centres to deal with acquired immunine deficiency syndrome; how much cash is set aside for personal counselling; and if he will make a statement on the contribution of social work services to the reference centres.
§ Mr. John MacKay[pursuant to his reply, 22 November 1985]: Both the haemophiliac reference centres in Scotland are closely involved in work relating to AIDS, but they are not separately funded for any of their functions. Although social work departments are not directly concerned with the work of the centres they are able to contribute their special skills in supporting the families of haemophiliacs.
