Departmental officials have been in regular contact with officials from the Devolved Administrations and will continue to work closely with them on this issue.
The Thalidomide Grant is a three-year pilot, running from April 2010 until March 2013, to explore how the health needs of Thalidomide survivors can best be met in the longer term and how such a scheme might be applied to other small groups of geographically dispersed patients with specialised needs.
Officials met with members of the National Advisory Council to the Thalidomide Trust in June 2010, to discuss their evaluation of the first year. The Government expects to receive the evaluation of the second year of the pilot study shortly, and will look to meet with the National Advisory Council to discuss that report. We will consider the future of the grant further into the pilot.
