§ Mr. HanleyThe table sets out the grant aid given in 1990–91 by the health and social services boards to those voluntary organisations whose help and services arc specifically directed at people with disabilities. It does not include grant-aided schemes which are not specifically targeted but which may nevertheless benefit some disabled people.

§ Mr. MallonTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland which community organisations, providing facilities or services for the disabled and handicapped, received free health board transport; and what level of transport is available in each case.
§ Mr. HanleyThis information is not collected in the form requested. However, I understand that health and social services boards provide free transport to some 170 local voluntary groups throughout Northern Ireland whose main activity is the care of disabled or handicapped people but may also include elderly or mentally ill people. The level of assistance provided ranges from ad hoc arrangements to cover special trips and outings to regular provision of an agreed number of vehicles on set days each week. In some cases boards give cash grants to enable voluntary organisations to provide their own transport.
