Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will estimate the amount of Government funding for (a) drug misuse treatment and (b) alcohol misuse treatment in (i) England and (ii) each strategic health authority in each of the last six years. [138755] Miss Melanie Johnson: The pooled drug treatment budget was £195.7 million in 2002-03 and this increased to £243.6 million in 2003-04. It is estimated that the pooled treatment budget is matched with an additional 200 million of mainstream funding. Figures are not available prior to 2002-03 when the majority of drug treatment was funded through mainstreamed health monies. Figures are not available for each strategic health authority. However, the table shows pooled treatment budget allocations for each National Treatment Agency region. £ million _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Region 2002-03 2003-04 London 43.80 55.20 East Midlands 12.96 16.42 West Midlands 19.20 24.61 Eastern Region 17.15 20.07 North East 11.72 14.87 North West 25.90 32.93 South East 25.44 29.23 South West 15.47 18.19 Yorkshire and Humber 19.57 24.57 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Responsibility for funding alcohol treatment services lies with primary care trusts, who commission these services in line with local needs. The Department does not hold centrally collected information on expenditure on alcohol treatment services, but we estimate that around £95 million is spent annually on these services, with the bulk of this funding being drawn from Government sources.

Simon Hughes: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many drug dealers were convicted in London in each of the last six years. [139266] Caroline Flint :[holding answer 17 November 2003]: The table contains data from the Home Office Court Appearances and Cautions Drugs Database showing the number of drug dealers in the City of London and Metropolitan Police force area cautioned and convicted in the years 1996 to 2000 (the latest year available). "Dealing" has been taken to mean drug trafficking, that is: to include possession with intent to supply, unlawful supply, unlawful production and unlawful import/ export.

Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what percentage of those brought into a police station tested positively for Class A drugs in 2002; and what the level of voluntary take-up of treatment was; [128627] (2) what percentage of those brought into a police station tested positive for Class A drugs in the last six months for which figures are available; and what the level of voluntary take-up for treatment was for those people. [127671] Caroline Flint: It is not possible to provide a national figure for the percentage of individuals testing positive for Class A drugs, nor do we have recent data available for positive tests at arrest. However, the percentage of individuals testing positive at charge for cocaine and/or opiates at each of nine pilot sites are shown in the table. The data have been taken from Home Office Findings 180 "Evaluation of drug testing in the criminal justice system in nine pilot areas". This is available on the RDS website http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs2/r180.pdf and in the House Library. Police on charge drug test results for cocaine and/or opiates: cumulative to 31 October 2002 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Pilot site Start date of pilot Testing positive for Cocaine and/or opiates (Percentage) Stafford and Cannock July 2001 45 Hackney September 2001 66 Nottingham September 2001 58 Bedford August 2002 54 Blackpool June 2002 44 Doncaster June 2002 63 Torquay July 2002 36 Wirral July 2002 58 Wrexham and Mold August 2002 56 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Source: Home Office Findings 180 "Evaluation of drug testing in the criminal justice system in nine pilot areas". The Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 gave the police power to drug test arrestees once they are charged with a "trigger offence" (these include property crime, robbery and specified Class A drug offences). Data on the level of voluntary uptake for treatment by detainees testing positive for Class A drugs has yet to become available from this study. As the evaluation continues information will be collected as detainees/ offenders move from one part of the criminal justice system to another, and into treatment.
