Vol. 429 No. 6
307 Mr. McCormack asked the Minister for Health if he will give a breakdown of the allocations to each health board and other groups from the £8 million provided in the 1993 Budget for services for the mentally handicapped in 1993; and the sums provided in this regard to the health boards and other groups in 1992.
Details of the allocation of the additional funding available for the development of services for people with mental handicap in 1993 was given to the Deputy in my reply to his parliamentary question on 7 April last.
