HC Deb 30 November 1993 vol 233 c498W
Mr. Burden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what assessment he has made of the impact of reductions in the transitional special needs management allowance on projects providing homes for people with drink, drug and mental health problems.

Mr. Baldry

The Housing Corporation is currently reviewing the funding arrangements for special needs schemes run by housing associations, including schemes for people with drug, alcohol and mental health problems, in the context of the new arrangements for community care. To assist with the introduction of community care, levels of transitional special needs management allowance funding are continuing unchanged during 1993–94. No decisions have been taken yet on funding for future years.
