Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the(a) current and (b) future level of funding of the bug busting programme. [18561]

Mr. Horam

The bug busting programme, which is run by the voluntary organisation Community Hygiene Concern, has a three-year project grant of £25,000 a year from the Department of Health under the section 64 general scheme; 1997–98 is the third year. Any application to renew funding will be carefully considered.
