HC Deb 27 May 1988 vol 134 c417W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the current level of funding by his Department for research project grants targeted to the elderly and care in the community.

Mrs. Currie

In 1987–88 £2.3 million of the Department's research budget was spent on community care projects. £1 million of this was spent on research focusing particularly on the elderly, whilst the remaining sum supported research into community care affecting all age groups. Expenditure in 1988–89 is likely to be at a similar level.
