The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to S2W-4605 by Mr Tom McCabe on 15 December 2003, whether it will list the specific organisations that have received grants for 2002-03 under section 10 of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 for the provision of services to disabled persons, stating the level of grant awarded.

The answer

Answered by Tom McCabe on 20 Jan 2004 · 34 days after it was lodged, on time

A number of organisationsprovide services across the entire community care client group. Someorganisations which receive section 10 grants do not provide services fordisabled persons alone. This makes it impossible to provide a full breakdown ofsection 10 funding for the provision of services to disabled persons.
The table details all grantsmade under section 10 of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 in 2002-03 from the Health Departmentbudget. Other departments also make grants under section 10 which may relate todisabled persons.
