Written Answers. - National Lottery Funding.

Richard Bruton

Question:

221 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Health the value of national lottery funds channelled through his Department during 1991; if he will outline the particular service on which these funds were spent; and if he will further outline the amount of money which went to services provided by (a) voluntary agencies and (b) statutory agencies.

The total allocation of lottery funds to my Department for 1991 is £16.890 million. The main headings under which this money is being allocated are as follows:

£m

Capital

5.090

Services for the Elderly

5.000

Services for the Mentally Handicapped

1.000

Block Grants to Health Boards

1.500

Child Care Services

0.510

National Social Services Board

0.845

Public Health Services

0.700

Health Promotion

0.450

The balance of £1.795 million is made up mainly of grants to various voluntary bodies. It is not possible to provide a breakdown of lottery expenditure between voluntary and statutory agencies because the distribution of funds under the various headings above, which involves allocations to both voluntary and statutory agencies, has not yet been finalised.
