HC Deb 14 January 2004 vol 416 c801W
John Mann

To ask the Secretary of State for Health which constituencies in the UK do not have a needle exchange. [147763]

Miss Melanie Johnson

[holding answer 13 January 2004]: We do not measure needle exchange coverage by parliamentary consituency. However, we do record it on a primary care trust (PCT) basis. Every PCT in England has access to a needle exchange service, distributing approximately 27 million needles annually.
