question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 8 November 2017 to Question 110843, for what reasons the figure for funding from his Department to Action on Smoking and Health in the financial year 2016-17 is different by £30,000 to that given in the Answer of 5 September 2017 to Question 6854; how that discrepancy came about; and if he will fully investigate the funding and grant-making processes of his Department in respect of that organisation.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2017 answer text <p>In my answer of 5 September 2017 I stated that a grant of £160,000 was awarded to Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) under section 64 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968 in financial year 2016/17. In my answer of 6 November 2017 I referred to a table confirming that grant payments totalling £195,000 were made to ASH during the financial year in 2016/17. Both responses are accurate. The 6 November response which referred to £195,000 highlighted all payments made to ASH during the financial year 2016/17. This is different from the value of the grant for that year because payments are made once ASH has demonstrated successful delivery of grant objectives, after each quarter. The final payment for each year of the ASH grant is made in the subsequent financial year. The attached table is designed to clarify the apparent discrepancy.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 06/12/2017 17:25:33 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine attachment 1 file name Table PQ117026.docx title PQ117026 attached table

The audit included visits to the charities that formed part of the sample to test the information they provided to the Department and to garner their views on how the Department engaged with them. ASH was included in the work because its grant fulfilled the sample criteria.</p><p> </p><p>The internal audit was not a review of the organisation and the way that it operated, its focus was on the Department’s grant management. It found that, at the time, there were satisfactory arrangements in place in the Department. The audit report did not raise any adverse comments about ASH or include any recommendations in relation to them. It is not normal practice to place copies of Internal Audit reports in the Library.</p><p> </p><p>Minutes of annual review meetings with ASH are available on request from the Department.
