§ Mr. BowisTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the organisations in receipt of funds from his Department that provide post detoxification residential care, indicating the amount received and the number of beds provided.
§ Mr. Dorrell[holding answer 11 June 1990]: There is no central register of the number of beds provided for detoxification, nor of the funding specifically used for the provision of these facilities.
The Department does not allocate earmarked moneys for the provision of post detoxification residential care for alcohol misusers. The Department does, however, make available to regional health authorities earmarked funding, which this year totals £15.5 million, for the provision of drug services locally. Post detoxification residential care may be funded from these allocations.
