HC Deb 12 February 1985 vol 73 cc159-60W
56. Mr. Terry Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he last had discussions with the North-West regional health authority about the drugs dependency unit at Prestwich hospital, Manchester.

Mr. John Patten

We have had no discussions with the North Western regional health authority on this matter. However, officials have had a number of discussions with the drugs dependency unit at Prestwich hospital, where we are funding research and two projects under the Government's central funding initiative on drug misuse.
