  221.  Mr. R. Bruton  Information on Richard Bruton  Zoom on Richard Bruton   asked the Minister for Health  Information on Rory O'Hanlon  Zoom on Rory O'Hanlon   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.

Minister for Health (Dr. O'Hanlon): Information on Rory O'Hanlon  Zoom on Rory O'Hanlon  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.
