HC Deb 02 March 1994 vol 238 c765W
Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) from what part of the budget for 1994–98 the extra £10 million allocated for community-based mental health services in London will be found;

(2) how the extra £10 million allocated for community-based mental health services in London will be spent.

Dr. Mawhinney

The extra £10 million for community-based mental health services in 1994–95 forms part of the total £85 million available for primary and community developments in the London initiative zone in 1994–95. Decisions on how the resources will be allocated will be taken by the London implementation group and the Thames regional health authorities in the light of development plans and proposals received from local health authorities and national health service trusts.
