Mr. Lawler

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how much central funding to support initiatives concerned with drug abuse was applied for by the Bradford district health authority; and when these funds will be made available.

Mr. John Patten

Bradford health authority has applied for funds under the central funding initiative for a toxicological screening service, a senior health education officer and a nurse to undertake a liaison/education and research role. The total value of the bids is £162,500. The toxicological screening service will be approved shortly; the other proposals are under consideration.
