The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the commitments made during the debate in the Parliament on Institutional Child Abuse on 1 December 2004 and the letter of 21 December 2004 from the Minister for Education and Young People to the Convener of the Public Petitions Committee, what financial support has been given to the In Care Abuse Survivors Group (INCAS) to help develop support for survivors of institutional child abuse.

The answer

Answered by Peter Peacock on 26 Apr 2005 · 26 days after it was lodged, on time

My officials met with representatives of INCAS on 10 December 2004 to discuss this. Since then the Executive has paid for mentoring and developmental work to be undertaken with INCAS. A proposed business plan, including information on the level of financial support being sought from the Executive, is due to be submitted to the Executive in the near future.
