Funding from the Changing Children’s Services Fund to support drug related work with young people and families was allocated to local authorities in accordance with a formula which took into account deprivation, rurality and numbers of looked after children. Allocations were made on a three year basis but have been split by year in table 2. Per capita allocations would not be meaningful given that this funding is designed for services for a specific target group.

Details of the allocation of tackling drug misuse funding for social inclusion partnerships for the last three years, broken down by local authority and NHS board are shown in table 3. As there can be a number of SIPs within a local authority area, details of per capita allocations are not meaningful.

Table 4 shows funding allocated to groupings of local authorities for the purposes of criminal justice social work. The funding includes allocations for drug courts, Drug Treatment and Testing Orders and addiction services including alcohol provision. Per capita allocations and percentage increases on a local authority basis are therefore not held centrally.

The date for implementationof the new support arrangements is 1 January 2005.

Rates per 100,000 populationare also given. These rates should be treated with caution. The variability inrates between health boards can be partly explained by the number of consultantseach rate is based on. Also, these rates do not take account of cross-borderflows between health boards e.g. patients resident in one health board area mayreceive their treatment in another health board.
