Fiona Bruce:

Answer

The Department does not hold data on the numbers of persons working in stop smoking services in each primary care trust area or in England as a whole.

The Department does not directly fund stop smoking service activity. Funding that was allocated in 2012-13 for services was allocated by primary care trusts. Funding for 2013-14 will be allocated by the local authority from the ring fenced public health budget.
