Rehabilitation: Lincolnshire

Mr. Burrowes
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much funding is being provided to the Middlegate detoxing and residential rehabilitation unit in Lincolnshire in 2009-10.

Beverley Hughes
I have been asked to reply.

Places at Middlegate Lodge and other young people's substance misuse residential treatment facilities are primarily commissioned and funded by local authorities.

Government are providing £24.7 million to local authorities in 2009-10 to support such drug and alcohol treatment through the Pooled Treatment Budget and this is matched by additional funds from the area based grant according to local need.
