§ Mr. GaleTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on how grants made by his Department to the ADHD UK Alliance have been spent. [143804]
§ Dr. Ladyman[holding answer 16 December 2003]: The Department of Health has given the ADHD UK Alliance a one-year grant of £25,000 as a contribution towards the central administrative costs of their activities in England. This grant supports our priorities in child and adolescent mental health by resourcing an organisation, which in turn, will help the development of the many small support groups in the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) field. We have also previously supported the ADHD UK Alliance when they were part of the organisation, Contact a Family.
