The statutory requirements on care services are set out in The Regulation of Care (Requirements as to Care Services) (Scotland) Regulations 2002. The Executive has no current plans to review these regulations.The requirements relating to the size of rooms are set out in the national care standards for care homes published by ministers. These standards were widely consulted on and underpin our aim of improving the quality of the care experience for the user. Responsibility for monitoring compliance with the standards lies with the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care.

The Scottish Executive provides funds to the Scottish Road Safety Campaign for the production of key road safety education initiatives and publicity campaigns. The campaign's business plan for 2002-03 includes publicity on major causes of road accident fatalities and serious injuries such as speeding, drink driving and drug driving. There are no plans for a campaign on difficulties caused by oil or diesel spills. Out of a total of 14,707 injury road accidents in Scotland in 2001, there were 33 accidents, including one fatal, in which the presence of oil or diesel on the road was recorded. This represents 0.2% of injury accidents.Copies of the business plan are available in the Parliament's Reference Centre (Bib. number 21011).

The enforcement of legislation in this area is a matter for the police, the Health and Safety Executive and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.

I refer the member to the answer given to question S1W-25154 on 1 May 2002, which details allocations to each NHS board area for drug treatment services on a per capita basis for years 1998-99 to 2002-03.Information on the level of spend per capita by NHS boards on drug treatment services is not held centrally.

The Community Care (Additional Payments) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 and the Community Care (Deferred Payment of Accommodation Costs) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 came into force on 1 July, to extend choice for care home residents by establishing new rules for topping up and deferred payment of care home fees. The Executive has no current plans to review these regulations but will monitor their implementation.

Information on the level of spend per capita by local authorities on drug rehabilitation services is not held centrally.
