§ Ms. LynneTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how much money has been provided by her Department in 1992–93 specifically to help people withdraw from benzodiazepines prescribed by general practitioners.
§ Dr. MawhinneyNone. Specific commitment to action in this area is made in the White Paper "The Health of the Nation". The resulting improvement in the education of primary care teams in the gradual withdrawal of benzodiazepines in chronic users and the promotion of good professional practice will help people overcome this problem.
