HC Deb 18 January 1993 vol 217 cc87-8W
Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the establishments in England which provide residential facilities for(a) those with alcohol problems and (b) those with drug problems; if he will show for each establishment (i) the capital grant and (ii) the total revenue grant provided by his Department in each of the last five years; and if he will provide estimated figures for 1992–93 and 1993–94.

Mr. Yeo

Information on residential and non residential facilities for drug misusers is available in the SCODA directory and for alcohol misusers in the Alcohol Concern directory, copies of which are in the Library. Funding for drug and alcohol projects are provided directly and indirectly by the Department from a number of sources. In part grants are from small centrally administered budgets such as the specific grant for alcohol and drug misusers. Other funds are provided locally by health authorities, either from money specifically allocated to them for drug misuse services, which totals £20 million in 1992–93, or from their general allocations. Details of projects funded from all these sources could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
