Haemophilia Centres (Funding)

Mr. Kirkwood
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if his Department will provide funding for the haemophilia centres in Edinburgh and Glasgow to enable them to carry out AIDS-related work.

Mr. Michael Forsyth
The funding of the haemophilia centres in Edinburgh and Glasgow is a matter for Lothian and Greater Glasgow health boards to consider in the context of the various demands which AIDS and HIV infection are placing and will place on them.
