HC Deb 21 May 1991 vol 191 cc435-9W
Mr. John Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the awards given to voluntary organisations under the section 64 procedure for the financial years 1990–91 and 1991–92.

Mr. Dorrell

In 1990–91 grants totalling £14.8 million were awarded under the section 64 general scheme to 262 voluntary organisations. This represents a real-terms increase of 43 per cent. over 1978–79. Details of the grants are given in the following table.

In 1991–92 we plan to increase the level of support to the voluntary sector under the section 64 general scheme by a further £1.1 million to £15.9 million. So far grants to the value of £11 million have been awarded to 238 voluntary organisations. Further grants will be awarded throughout the year. Existing "core" grants which help to fund headquarters running costs will generally be held more or less steady to enable us to extend the support which we can give to the voluntary sector through new core grants and project funding. Significant core grants have already been renewed for such bodies as Alcohol Concern, Age Concern, MIND and the Disabled Living Foundation. Major new projects funded this year under the section 64 general scheme include ones undertaken by Mental Health Foundation—Homeless in London (£80,000), National Institute for Social Work (£55,000), Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society (£27,000) and East London Asian Family Counselling (£24,000).

These figures and the number and range of organisations supported clearly demonstrate Ministers' commitment to the voluntary sector. They also underline the Government's recognition of the special and valuable contribution which voluntary organisations bring to the provision of health and personal social services.
