Answer

[holding answer 16 January 2006]: I have been asked to reply.We have no record of having received any formal bid to central Government for the funding of any drug services operated by The Royal Association for Disability and Rehabilitation (RADAR).However, the Department's currently funds RADAR through the section 64 general scheme as follows:

£
2003–04 86,400
2004–05 95,000
2005–06 95,000

This core funding is for RADAR's central administrative costs, and covers their objectives to work towards change enabling disabled people to control their own lives, by promoting regulation, good practice and equality of opportunity, advocating the removal of physical and attitudinal barriers: informing disabled people, disability organisations and others on matters affecting disabled people, and supporting disability organisations.
