Substance misuse treatment is grouped into four tiers by the NTA, which reflect the increasing intensities of the treatment. Tier 1 refers to services provide by non-specialist drug services, e.g. accident and emergency departments and social care agencies. Tier 2 refers to open-access drug treatment and does not always include a care plan. Tier 3 refers to treatment, with a structured care plan, taken in the community and Tier 4 refers to residential drug treatment.

Figures for 2003-04 have not been provided due to data quality reasons. The current NDTMS data collection began in April 2004 and although some data were collected retrospectively for the period 2003-04 they are thought to be incomplete. Figures for 2007/08 will be published later this year.

Information on the number of individuals who have re-entered structured treatment, after having been discharged from structured treatment for drug misuse on the grounds that they had completed their treatment drug free is not held centrally by the Department. A copy will be placed in the Library shortly.

Drugs: Rehabilitation

Anne Main: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much his Department spent on the psycho-social element of the integrated drug treatment system in (a) 2006-07 and (b) 2007-08; and what the projected expenditure is expected to be in 2008-09. [221406]

Mr. Hanson: I have been asked to reply.

Psychosocial elements of the integrated drug treatment system (IDTS) are funded by the Ministry of Justice.

The following was spent by prisons on implementing psychosocial elements of IDTS:

(a) 2006-07: £865,000, with an additional £1 million spent on refurbishments/equipment upgrades prerequisite to the delivery of IDTS services.

(b) 2007-08: £4.785 million, with an additional £742,000 spent on refurbishments/equipment upgrades prerequisite to the delivery of IDTS services.

I anticipate that the full allocation of £6 million will be spent in 2008-09.

Family Planning: Yorkshire and the Humber

David Davis: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many family planning clinics there were in the (a) Hull, (b) the East Riding of Yorkshire, (c) North Lincolnshire and (d) North East Lincolnshire local authority area for each of the last 10 years. [223292]

Dawn Primarolo: This information is not collected centrally. It is the responsibility of individual primary care trusts to decide upon the appropriate level of provision for the communities they serve.

General Practitioners

Mr. Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health on which dates each Minister in his Department has met representatives of general practitioners in the last 12 months. [219378]
