HC Deb 17 July 1972 vol 841 c27W
Mr. Michael Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what facilities exist in Wales for the rehabilitation and after care of those who have been treated for drug addiction.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Whitchurch Hospital, Cardiff, has a special department for this purpose. There are out-patient facilities there and at certain other hospitals. The usual arrangements for continuing care of patients through general practitioners and social workers also apply. The South Wales and Monmouth shire Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependency has established a hostel in Cardiff and proposes to open another one in Newport later this year.
