Ms. Jowell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make it her policy that the money transferred to local authorities to fund the community care changes from April 1993 is ring fenced by each local authority.

Mr. Yeo

I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave my hon. Friend the Member for Milton Keynes, North-East (Mr. Butler) on 10 November. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health announced on 2 October that local authorities would receive a ring-fenced special transitional grant for community care.
