(2) what the budget for drug treatment for Chorley and South Ribble Primary Care Trust is in 2004–05. [179527]

Miss Melanie Johnson

The information is not available in the format requested. Allocations of funding for particular treatments are matters for local primary care trusts (PCTs).

The budget for the drug action team for Lancashire, which covers the Chorley and South Ribble PCT, is £4.26 million in 2004–05.
