HC Deb 14 March 1990 vol 169 c288W
Mrs. Wise

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security in how many refusals of community care grants one of the grounds for refusal has been insufficient funds.

Mr. Scott

In the period April 1989 to January 1990 43,000 community care grants were refused on the grounds that they were of insufficient priority for an award to be made.
