Vol. 411 No. 4
184 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Health if he will outline the funding which is provided by his Department for citizens information centres; if he intends to increase this funding; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
186 Mr. S. Barrett asked the Minister for Health if he intends providing funding and support to ensure the continued development of the existing networks of information and advice services through the citizens information centres.
187 Mr. Bell asked the Minister for Health if the Government will provide funding and support to ensure the continued development of the existing networks of information and advice services through the citizens information centres; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 184, 186 and 187 together.
Funding and other support services for the network of 78 citizens information centres throughout the country are provided by the National Social Services Board, under the aegis of my Department. It is estimated that expenditure by the board in respect of the centres will amount to approximately £150,000 in 1991. The level of future funding for the centres will be a matter for the board to decide in the light of its 1992 allocation.
