HC Deb 20 July 1981 vol 9 c30W
Mr. Charles Irving

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the current capital cost of a place in a purpose-built detoxification centre.

Sir George Young

This information is not available as no detoxification centres are being or have recently been built. Before 1978, contributions were made to the capital costs of experimental detoxification centres; the programme of evaluation of the centres is continuing.
