HC Deb 26 July 1985 vol 83 c967W
Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will make extra resources available to regional health authorities' for the development and expansion of rehabilitation and treatement centres for drug addicts.

Mr. John Patten

We have already made available £11½ million centrally to pump-prime local projects. The possible need for further money will be considered in the light of health authorities' plans for service development and other competing priorities.
