HC Deb 22 January 1993 vol 217 cc473-4W
Mr. Alton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what funding under section 64 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968 will be made available through Liverpool health authority in 1993–94 to agencies dealing with psychiatric patients, mentally ill patients and mental handicap patients;

(2) if she will list the Liverpool agencies which under section 64 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968 were funded in 1992–93; how much each received; how many patients they care for; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Sackville

Grants made by the Department under the section 64 general scheme are almost entirely to assist with the central administrative costs of, or to support a national project run by, a national voluntary organisation.

Health authorities also have powers to make grants under section 64. Information on such grants is not held centrally. The hon. Member may wish to contact the chairman of Liverpool health authority for details.
