HC Deb 29 November 1989 vol 162 c299W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Health in how many local authorities' areas there are special counselling services available for young offenders.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Information is not held centrally in the form requested. All local authorities have a statutory duty to provide programmes of intermediate treatment. Juvenile offenders who are subject to supervision orders may be required by the juvenile courts to take part in these programmes, which often include counselling services.
