§ Mr. RaynsfordTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many organisations are receiving grants under section 64 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968; how many of these grants are due to(a) expire or (b) be reduced from March 1995; and what proposals she has to assist these organisations to secure replacement funding.
§ Mr. BowisThere are some 382 voluntary organisations due to receive 523 grants from the Department under our section 64 general scheme during 1994–95; 238 of these are due to expire on 31 March 1995. Many will be core grants, eligible for consideration for renewal. The general presumption is that all core grants will be subject to a degree of tapering, particularly in their later years.
