The PTB is allocated to drug action teams throughout the country, who use the funding to commission all forms of drug treatment services to best meet local need.
A further £54.3 million of capital funding was identified in 2006 to improve inpatient and residential drug and alcohol facilities and access to those services. There was a national bidding process held and the money will be available to fund the successful building projects over the next two years.
