HC Deb 25 June 1990 vol 175 c86W
Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the total level of Government spending on child accident prevention via(a) the Health Education Authority, (b) the Royal Society for the Prevention of 1988–89 Accidents and (c) other agencies.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

The Health Education Authority and the Child Accident Prevention Trust, both of which are funded by the Department, expect to spend £127,000 and £107,000 respectively on child accident prevention in 1990–91. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents receives funding from a number of Government Departments; the largest grant is from the Department of Transport, which has allocated it £389,000 in the current financial year for its road safety activities. These extend beyond child accident prevention.
