To ask the Scottish Executive how much finance will be made available to Dundee City Council from 2008 to 2011 to build council houses.
Answer
In April, the Scottish Government announced £25 million of government funding over the next three years to kick start a new generation of council house building. We will work with our partners in local government to decide how best to allocate the money to ensure it has maximum impact, where needed, on the supply of new council housing in Scotland.

To ask the Scottish Executive how many GP consultations in NHS Tayside were directly connected with alcohol-related conditions in each of the last three years for which information is available.
Answer
It is not possible to provide estimates of the number of GP consultations in NHS Tayside directly connected with alcohol-related conditions. While Scotland-wide estimates are available, these are based on a small number of practice team information practices. The small number of practices involved precludes robust analysis at NHS board level.
