Ann Keen

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the work of the Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centre in Hounslow in combating heroin smoking in young people, especially in the Asian community. [176093]

Mr. Hutton

Services to reduce the harm caused by drugs and alcohol to people in Hounslow are provided primarily by the Hounslow substance misuse team and Hounslow drug and alcohol action team (DAAT). The DAAT has undertaken projects specifically targeting Asian men with the aim of creating a model of excellence in raising the awareness of drugs and pathways of treatment and to increase the number of Punjabi people accessing advice, information and treatment.
