HC Deb 24 May 1990 vol 173 c357W
Dr. Kim Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if there are any plans to increase funding for community mental health services in Mid Glamorgan.

Mr. Grist

The county joint planning team (CJPT) in Mid Glamorgan has been offered initially £127,700 in 1990–91 to support developments under the mental illness strategy; these resources are in addition to those directly available to partner agencies in the team. Over £100,000 of the total relates to community-based developments of services for people with or recovering from mental illness. The CJPT has been invited to submit fuller details of its proposals in respect of community mental health teams, and we shall be considering these and the related bids for funding in due course.
