§ Mr. ButlerTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services whether his departmental budget includes any sums earmarked for HIV testing of pregnant mothers.
§ Mr. NewtonNo. However, as my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State said in his announcement on 3 November 1987 about future spending plans for health and personal social services, the additional money for AIDS over £50 million was intended, among other things, to help develop preventive, counselling and diagnostic services. A copy of the announcement has been placed in the Library.
