University Fees
Mr. Gorrie: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the income to be raised by fees paid by (a) Scottish students at Scottish universities, (b) English, Welsh and Northern Irish students at Scottish universities and (c) Scottish students at English, Welsh and Northern Irish universities in the current year and each of the next five years. [72658]
Mrs. Liddell: No separate estimates have been made for fees income for Scottish universities as requested. The table provides estimates for fees income for Scottish higher education institutions and further education colleges for the years 1998-99 to 2001-02 only:
| £ million | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1998-99 | 1999-2000 | 2000-01 | 2001-02 | |
| Scottish higher education institutions (I) | 15 | 26 | 35 | 40 |
| Scottish further education colleges | 4 | 6 | 6 | 6 |
| Total for Scottish institutions | 19 | 32 | 41 | 46 |
| Scottish students at other UK institutions | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
Note:
All figures are at 1998-99 prices
It is assumed that most students coming to Scotland from elsewhere in the UK will attend higher education institutions. Within the figures at (I) their contribution is estimated as £2 million, £5 million, £7 million and £10 million respectively. This is estimated using the same average private contribution as for Scottish and EU students. Actual amounts will be dependent on the

specific funding body responsible providing student support in whatever part of the UK the student comes from.
From 1 July 1999, this will be a matter for the Scottish Parliament.
Sir Alastair Goodlad:

Sir Alastair Goodlad:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what research projects his Department is funding in the current year to test the effectiveness of community care for people suffering from schizophrenia psychoses; and if he will make a statement. [73365]
2 Mar 1999 : Column: 702
Mr. Galbraith:
The Chief Scientist Office (CSO) within the Scottish Office Department of Health has responsibility for managing funds which support research activity to further the development of patient care and health services within the NHS in Scotland.
Mental Health is one of the health priorities in Scotland, and CSO's awards to mental health research projects in 1998-99, total some £2M. Many of these projects may be relevant to schizophrenia psychoses alongside other severe mental health problems, and some may have implications for methods of care, including community care, for sufferers. Projects, completed or still running in 1998-99, which we have identified as definitely relevant to schizophrenia psychoses (and perhaps--to varying extents--to community care for sufferers) are detailed below. Their awards total some £657K of the £2M.
CSO also manages the NHS in Scotland's Research and Development (R&D) Support Fund, which supports research and development in NHS hospitals, general practice and other health care settings in Scotland. R&D Support Fund expenditure on mental health is estimated to be some £3M in 1998-99. R&D Support Fund expenditure on schizophrenia psychoses cannot be identified separately, except at disproportionate cost. From 1 July 1999, this will be a matter for the Scottish Parliament.
