§ Mr. McMasterTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what evaluation he has made of the success of the after-care tasks initiative—ACTIVE—run by Renfrew district council for mental health; if he will provide additional mainline or urban programme funding to enable ACTIVE to develop further its services and programmes; and if he will make a statement.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe Scottish Office has not evaluated the work of the aftercare tasks initiative project. However, based on an evaluation by Strathclyde regional council of the project's first four years of urban programme-funded operations, we have recently approved a further three years' urban programme grant of £75,770 per annum. It would be for Strathclyde regional council to consider whether additional mainline or urban programme funding would be appropriate.
