§ Mr. KeyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health for what reasons the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust has not received funding for the Salisbury Alcohol and Drugs Advisory Service; and if he will make a statement. [71791]
§ Ms Blears[holding answer 22 July 2002]Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership National Health Service Trust has received funding, both mainstream and ring fenced monies, however, decisions on the funding of individual alcohol and drug treatment services are made at local level.
I understand that an accounting error has led to a shortfall in relation to the service in Salisbury and that this is being addressed by the South Wiltshire Primary Care Trust and Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust.
