HC Deb 18 January 1990 vol 165 c406W
Mr. Lewis

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he will be in a position to give the amounts of Government funding to St. Ann's hospices at Heald green, Cheshire, and Little Hulton, Greater Manchester.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

We shall shortly be notifying health authorities of the allocations they will receive from the additional £8 million we have made available for 1990–91 to enable them to increase the contributions they already make to voluntary hospices and similar organisations. The funding of individual projects is a matter for discussions between the authorities and the organisations concerned.
