HC Deb 21 May 1990 vol 173 c38W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement of the funding of the Hospice at Home organisation.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

For England, we have allocated an additional £8 million to health authorities this year to enable them to contribute more to voluntary hospices. The funding of individual projects is a matter for discussion between the organisations and authorities concerned. The funding of projects in Wales is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
