The Scottish Executive is responsible for the maintenance for 94 Gatso and 45 loop or sub-surface sensor type speed camera sites on the trunk road network in the following police force areas:

Central	7 loop sites
Dumfries and Galloway	13 sub-surface sensor sites
Grampian	28 Gatso sites
Lothian and Borders	45 Gatso sites
Northern	10 loop sites
Tayside	21 Gatso sites
	15 loop sites.

The police have been supplied with cameras for both types of site. The Executive pays only for the maintenance of 21 cameras for Gatso sites held by Tayside, Grampian and Lothian & Borders police. The Executive does not meet the cost of maintaining any cameras for the sub-surface sensor sites.The cost paid by the Executive to maintain these cameras and sites in 2000-01 was £20,040. The cost of operating them is met by the police.In addition to these sites and cameras on the trunk road network, local authorities and police forces have cameras and camera sites on local roads.Figures are not held for fixed penalties and fine income generated by camera locations on the trunk road network alone. However, across Scotland in 1999, an estimated 51,000 police conditional offers were made for speeding offences which had been automatically detected, of which an estimated 83% were paid, (approximating to £1,705,000). Figures for 2000 are not yet available.Local authorities retain a 10% handling charge for fixed penalty notices, the remainder being remitted to the Treasury. In Glasgow, a pilot scheme allows the police and local authority to retain money raised through fixed penalties to fund additional enforcement activity.

Information in the form requested is not held centrally. The term "registered drug" user no longer exists and I refer the member to the answer given to question S1W-16963 on 8 August.Rehabilitation for those addicted to drugs is provided through a variety of services and in a variety of settings, many of which are community-based and do not involve residential care. Beds provided within the NHS and the voluntary sector for rehabilitation will also be available for anyone with a clinical need, including people from outwith the health board in which the beds are situated.

I have asked Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service (SPS), to respond. His response is as follows:This information is not available. However, SPS has recently estimated that 46% of those released from prison custody return to prison within two years (Return to Custody in Scottish Prisons, SPS Research and Evaluation Services, 2001). Re-offending not resulting in prison custody is not included in that figure.

His response is as follows:HM Prison, Aberdeen will benefit from expanded in-prison addictions casework provision from late autumn 2001. Short-term post-release support "throughcare" by SPS will become available offering facilitation support to address their housing, employment, education and training, personal finance and health needs in the period leading up to and for 12 weeks after release.Additional addictions nursing support is being introduced this autumn and support from psychologists is also now being made available to the prison to further develop the quality of treatment.
