Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 12 February 2020.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have for protecting, or increasing, current levels of investment in drug and alcohol services.
Local authorities are responsible for assessing local need and commissioning services to meet identified needs, including for drug and alcohol dependence, using the ring-fenced public health grant. The ring-fence requiring the grant to be spent on public health, including drug and alcohol services, remains in place for 2020/21. The grant will increase in real terms in 2020/21 meaning local authorities can continue to invest in prevention and essential frontline health services.
