asked the Minister for Health the total amount of moneys allocated to date from the proceeds of the national lottery through his Department; the total amount of actual payments made; the total reserves still available, if any, from the national lottery; the amount likely to be spent in the current year; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A total of £10 million was allocated from the proceeds of the national lottery to the Health area for 1987 and 1988 of which £9,126,325 has issued to date. I expect to reach decisions regarding the balance of these funds in the next few weeks. The full allocation of £10 million will be spent in the current year.
