HL Deb 28 October 2003 vol 654 c32WA
Baroness Noakes

asked Her Majesty's Government: Whether it is appropriate for the National Health Service to pay for the postage costs of circulating an invitation to a parliamentary launch of the National Mental Health Partnership. [HL4919]

Lord Warner:

Management of issues such as this are a matter for individual trusts. However, we are aware that the National Mental Health Partnership does some excellent work and we are told that chief executives and the services for which they are responsible derive considerable benefit from membership.

Baroness Noakes

asked Her Majesty's Government: Whether they provide any funding for the National Mental Health Partnership; if so, how much; and on what terms. [HL4920]

Lord Warner:

The Department of Health does not currently provide any funding for the National Mental Health Partnership.
