Note:
Number of previous abortions are grouped where totals are less than 10 (between 0 and 9) or where a presented total would reveal a suppressed value from previously published data, in line with the Office for National Statistics’ guidance on the disclosure of abortion statistics (2005).

Drugs: Rehabilitation

Mr. Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) people, (b) under 18 year-olds, (c) under 16 year-olds and (d) under 12 year-olds were given drug rehabilitation treatment for each type of drug in each of the last five years. [282766]

Gillian Merron: The available information is set out in the following tables.

Age group data were collected in the years before 2007-08 but this was not of sufficient quality to publish National Statistics.

Data for the years before 2007-08 are only available for age groups under or over 18 years of age and exclude alcohol treatment.
