Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment has been made by strategic health authorities of
(a) the facilities available for drug maintenance and withdrawal, (b) the availability of licensed prescribers for
heroin addicts and (c) the incidence of heroin use. [153880]
Miss Melanie Johnson: No formal assessment has been made by strategic health authorities of the three issues that the hon. Member
raises.
However, I am able to inform her that the National Treatment Agency has confirmed that all areas of England now have access to
facilities for drug maintenance and withdrawal and that there are currently 123 practitioners in England licensed by the Home Office
to prescribe heroin. For other substitute prescribing medications, no licence is required.
