HC Deb 14 July 1987 vol 119 cc465-6W
Dr. Moonie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he is taking to promote the setting up of joint funded homes for elderly people with mental disability in Scotland.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

Arrangements for joint funding of these and other projects providing persons with appropriate care outside the hospital environment have existed since 1980 and were revised and extended in 1985. The allocation of resources to particular projects is

matter for decision by individual local authorities and health boards in the light of established priorities and local circumstances.
