HC Deb 27 January 1993 vol 217 c734W
Mr. Richards

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what resources are allocated for the support and treatment of those who suffer from schizophrenia.

Mr. Richards

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what resources are available to provide support for Alzheimer victims and their families; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

It is not possible to separately identify resources allocated to schizophrenia or to the support of people with Alzheimer's Disease and their families. An estimated £211 million is being spent on mental illness services in Wales and an additional £6.3 million is available this year through the mental illness strategy. The Welsh Office is also making available some £110,000 to enable the National Schizophrenia Fellowship to operate in Wales and some £26,000 similarly for the Alzheimer's Disease Society.
