To ask the Scottish Executive whether the same amount and type of (a) information is and (b) data are held on every individual on the Scottish Drug Misuse Database.
Answer
Different amounts and types of information and data may be held about different individuals in the Scottish Drug Misuse Database because:
(a) individuals may choose not to answer all the questions on the forms used to collect the information.
(b) prior to the expansion of the database to include follow-up information, clients only had information collected about them when they first entered treatment.
(c) the system for collecting follow-up information records this at regular intervals. This means that the amount of information held depends on how long an individual has been in treatment.

To ask the Scottish Executive who governs the use of the Scottish Drug Misuse Database.
Answer
The Scottish Drug Misuse Database (SDMD) collects information and data on clients entering drug treatment at specialist services in Scotland. Information Services Division (ISD), which is a division of NHS National Services Scotland, holds and processes the information and data. Two steering groups oversee the use of the database. One of these is concerned with the programme of work of ISD''s substance misuse team, including analysis of data from SDMD. The other is concerned with specific, often technical, issues concerning the database and data collection. The membership of the steering groups is drawn from ISD, the Scottish Government and other stakeholders, including alcohol and drug action teams, Health Scotland and Health Protection Scotland.
