To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what sums of money have been or are being made available by his Department to support the implementation of the all-Wales strategy for mental illness in each relevant financial year.

I refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Bridgend (Mr. Griffiths) on 30 April, columns 425–26.

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales whether projects concerned primarily with mental illness will be eligible for grant aid under the urban programme in Wales for the 1991–92 financial year.

No. As proposed in the White Paper "Caring for People: Community Care in the Next Decade and Beyond" (Cm. 849) and confirmed in Welsh Office circular No. 22/90, a copy of which is in the Library, urban programme resources for community care projects are being transferred to more appropriate Welsh Office funding programmes. This change includes special funding for mental illness services which, from April this year, is allocated solely under the Welsh Office mental illness strategy.
