To ask the Scottish Executive why figures regarding the Save Stobhill Campaign were provided to the Kirkintiloch and Bishopbriggs Herald on 15 May 2001 before such figures were provided on 29 May in answer to question S1W-15648 which was lodged on 4 May.
Answer
The figures in question are not of a confidential or sensitive nature and could be obtained from the Scottish Executive. There was, therefore, no justification for not providing them in response to the enquiry from the Kirkintilloch and Bishopbriggs Herald.

To ask the Scottish Executive how the #21 million given for young people and families to the Scottish Drugs Forum has been utilised.
Answer
The Executive's extra investment of £21 million over the next three years will target areas of work with young people at risk of misusing drugs and forms part of the £100 million Spending Review package in support of our anti-drugs strategy. £3 million will be deployed on taking forward our agenda on drug education in schools. £18 million will be administered through the Changing Children's Services Fund on new preventive and treatment services for young people. The allocations to local authorities take account of deprivation and other factors affecting children and young people. All proposals for service development must have the support of the local Drug Action Team and involve multi-agency approaches to programmes or projects delivered.

To ask the Scottish Executive how many requests to meet a delegation from the Save Stobhill Campaign team the Minister for Health and Community Care has received.
Answer
As at 11 May, the Executive has received around 3,500 pieces of correspondence about the future of Stobhill General Hospital. The Health Department continues to ask Greater Glasgow Health Board to consider these, since public consultation on the review of acute services is primarily a matter for the board. I met with delegates from the Save Stobhill Campaign Team on Thursday 17 May.
