This year, 1993–94, £34.4 million is available to 108 local authorities. Their individual allocations are listed in table A, the total includes £1,770,000 approved for revenue costs of short stay hostels under the Department's homeless mentally ill initiative for London.

Under section 64 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968 the Department gives grants towards the administrative—core—costs of national voluntary organisations and to support national development projects or innovative local projects with potential for national application. In the field of mental illness 56 grants are being made to 36 voluntary bodies at a total cost of £2,336,020 in 1993–94. These grants are listed in table B.
