Question reference: S1W-22325

Asked by: Christine Grahame, MSP for South of Scotland, Scottish National Party
Date lodged: Thursday, 24 January 2002
Current Status: Answered by Margaret Curran on 19 February 2002

To ask the Scottish Executive what its position is on the planned withdrawal of core funding for Borders Women's Aid, reported in The Southern Reporter on 24 January 2002, and, in light of the service this group provides to women and children who are victims of domestic violence in the Scottish Borders Council area, what action it will take to ensure that this service continues.

The Local Government Spending Review 2000 provides an extra £1.2 billion in support for local government over three years - an increase in real terms of 10.5%. It is the Scottish Executive's view that this should enable all local authorities to provide the necessary support for all women's refuges. It is therefore the responsibility of Scottish Borders Council to allocated funding according to its priorities. The National Group on Domestic Abuse, which I chair, will be looking at funding for service provision as part of its future work programme.
