answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government is investing £16 billion over the Spending Review period for local authorities (LAs) to spend on public health. LAs are responsible for making decisions on how to spend their local allocation but the public health grant conditions make it clear that they must have regard for the need to improve the take up of, and outcomes from, their drug and alcohol misuse treatment services. Public Health England guidance, developed with drug service providers, promotes the need for local authorities, commissioners and healthcare providers to work together to create systems and pathways that enable people who use drugs, including those who experience homelessness, to access services.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 13/12/2017 14:07:33 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
