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.
