Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the the Secretary of State for Health if she will make it her policy to introduce ring-fenced funding for residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation services.

Mr. Yeo

On 2 October 1992 my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State announced her decision that a ring-fenced community care special transitional grant would be made available to local authorities in England in 1993–94 for the implementation for community care, including for the purchase of residential care for people who misuse alcohol and/or drugs.
