HC Deb 19 January 1994 vol 235 c618W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what support the Government will be giving to London boroughs for their work in HIV and AIDS in 1994–95 and beyond; and what conclusions she has arrived at in reviewing this assistance.

Mr. Sackville

Funds will again be available in 1994–95 through the AIDS support grant scheme as a contribution towards local authorities' expenditure on HIV and AIDS. There are planning figures for the two subsequent years, which are subject to discussion in future public expenditure rounds.

The grant has made a valuable contribution to fostering joint co-operation in supporting people with HIV or AIDS and to limiting the spread of the virus.
