- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the prevalence of drug misuse in (a) Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council and (b) the UK in each of the last 10 years.
- Answer
-
Drug misuse statistics for England and Wales are collected via the Crime Survey for England and Wales. The sample size is insufficient to estimate prevalence of drug misuse at lower geography levels, therefore prevalence of drug misuse statistics in Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council are not available.
The Office for National Statistics’ data on drug misuse in England and Wales for year ending March 2020 is available at the following link:
Data for Scotland and Northern Ireland is not collected as this is a devolved matter.
