§ Mr. GalbraithThe Chief Scientist Office (CSO) within the Scottish Office Department of Health has responsibility for managing funds which support research activity to further the development of patient care and health services within the NHS in Scotland.
Mental Health is one of the health priorities in Scotland, and CSO's awards to mental health research projects in 1998–99, total some £2M. Many of these projects may be relevant to schizophrenia psychoses alongside other severe mental health problems, and some may have implications for methods of care, including community care, for sufferers. Projects, completed or still running in 1998–99, which we have identified as definitely relevant to schizophrenia psychoses (and perhaps—to varying extents—to community care for sufferers) are detailed below. Their awards total some £657K of the £2M.
CSO also manages the NHS in Scotland's Research and Development (R&D) Support Fund, which supports research and development in NHS hospitals, general practice and other health care settings in Scotland. R&D Support Fund expenditure on mental health is estimated to be some £3M in 1998–99. R&D Support Fund expenditure on schizophrenia psychoses cannot be identified separately, except at disproportionate cost. From 1 July 1999, this will be a matter for the Scottish Parliament.
