§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish for the last three available years and for 1996–97(a) for each county and (b) for Wales the funding made available by his Department to combat drug abuse; and if he will make a statement. [10686]
§ Mr. RichardsFollowing the recommendations of the efficiency scrutiny of health promotion in Wales, those 481W Welsh Office resources for combating drug misuse provided through the central funding initiative were built into district health authorities revenue allocations. For 1993–94, the last year the CFI operated, the amounts allocated to each county in Wales were:
482W
£ Clwyd 323,202 Dyfed 250,649 Gwent 274,295 Gwynedd 244,165 Mid Glamorgan 379,826 Powys 160,517 South Glamorgan 283,047
£ West Glamorgan 306,075 The Welsh Office provides separate resources for national activity: the amounts for 1993–94 to 1995–96 were £243,944, £360,918 and £259,737 respectively.
In addition, other central funding mechanisms such as the revenue support grant, the strategic development scheme and the grant for education support and training programme provide funds to combat drug misuse. It is not possible to identify separately the relevant amounts within those schemes.
