Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Elder (Labour). It was answered by Baroness Crawley (Labour) on Tuesday, 10 January 2006.
Family Fund
- Question
- Whether they will increase funding to the Family Fund to enable the fund to extend its existing remit and help families with severely disabled children who are 16 and over with grants directly related to their child’s disability.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the DfES, Scottish Executive, Welsh Assembly and the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety in Northern Ireland currently provide £29.7 million to the Family Fund and there are no additional funds available to immediately increase this. We will consider the Family Fund’s request for an extension of its remit beyond the age of 16 as part of the next Comprehensive Spending Review in the light of other priorities.
