To ask the Scottish Executive what (a) alternatives to secure care exist and (b) funding was allocated to these alternatives in (i) 1999-2000, (ii) 2000-01, (iii) 2001-02 and (iv) 2002-03 to date.
Answer
There are a number of close support units in Scotland, offering alternatives to secure accommodation. Local authorities are also able to use youth crime monies to develop such services, £13.5 million has been allocated to local authorities between 1999-2000 to 2002-03. On 18 October, I announced a new Intensive Support Fund of £3 million to enable both local authorities and voluntary organisations to increase the level of community-based supervision of young offenders, to improve the quality of care in secure and to improve support for those returning to their communities from secure accommodation.
