HC Deb 17 June 1992 vol 209 c544W
Ms. Lynne

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much has been allocated in joint finance money to the health service in Wales; and what proportion has been spent on projects for people with learning disabilities.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

A total of £1.8 million has been allocated in 1992–93 to projects in Wales under the joint finance scheme. A detailed breakdown of this amount, to identify the sum allocated to projects related to people with a mental handicap, could be made only at disproportionate cost. However, the main support for developing services for people with a mental handicap is the all-Wales mental handicap strategy, under which £41.5 million has been allocated in 1992–93.
