HC Deb 05 March 2002 vol 381 cc276-7W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people have been treated in the NHS for illnesses caused by the overuse of body building drugs in each year since 1997. [28578]

Yvette Cooper

Data on the number of drug users presenting to services for the treatment of anabolic steroids are not held centrally.

Needle exchange schemes that distribute clean needles and syringes have reported they attract steroid users that attend for a supply of clean needles. However, there are no quantitative data available on this across England.
