HC Deb 10 July 2001 vol 371 cc440-3W
Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how the cumulative additional investment on mental health care over three years from 1999 has been allocated(a) for each year, (b) between health and social services and (c) between different Government initiatives and programmes; [1464]

(2) when he will make allocations to health authorities under the mental health framework for 2001–02; and what is the total amount to be allocated. [1462]

Jacqui Smith

The additional central investment on mental health care over the three years from 1999 is shown in the table,(a) for each year and (b) between health and social services (in £ millions).

It is not possible to give accurate information on the split between different Government initiatives and programmes because the funding was allocated with health authority baselines to tackle local needs.

The total additional amount to be allocated in 2001–02 is £12.35 million revenue and £58 million capital. The allocation process has already begun and should be completed by the autumn. Most of this additional funding in 2001–02 will be used to provide significant improvements to high secure services.
