John Mann: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what qualifications are required of members of the clinically-led Direct Access Management Team for drug treatment established by Nottinghamshire Drug Action Team for the management of general practitioners; and what criteria his Department uses in reaching decisions on funding the clinical management of primary care. [223072] Dr. Ladyman: [holding answer 23 March 2005]: The qualifications required for any clinically-led service are specifically addressed in `Models of Care', the national framework document for the treatment of adult drug misusers, which was published by the National Treatment Agency (NTA) in 2002. Models of Care (NTA, 2002) clearly states that "A professional should only assess a drug or alcohol misuser or a particular need if they have the required level of competence to do so. Where medical intervention is required for substitute prescribing, an appropriately trained doctor must assess the substance misuser". All central funds have been placed into one budget, the drug pooled treatment budget (PTB). In addition to this, approximately £200 million of mainstream local expenditure is spent on drug treatment. Drug action teams (DATs) are responsible for assessing local need and then commissioning services accordingly, using the drug pooled treatment budget and other mainstream funds. There are no central funds or grants available for individual projects. Allocations to local DATs from the PTB are made on a formula basis that recognises key deprivation factors, ensuring the money goes to the areas most in need. Year- on-year increases in PTB funding will see the budgets of every drug action team increase by approximately 55 per cent. by 2008.
