Amy Winehouse's father is meeting with MPs today to discuss setting up a drug rehab centre in her name.

Mitch, who lives in Greenhithe, will discuss plans to address a gap in treatment services with the crime minister James Brokenshire and the chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee Keith Vaz.

Currently addicts face two-year waiting lists for NHS treatment and he is campaigning for that to change.

Speaking earlier today, he said: "This is going to be a brain-storming session with the government, and I think there's a new emphasis and new thinking within the government to get treatment at the sharp end so, rather than money being wasted through the criminal justice system, there could be a re-allocation of funds."

He plans to open up a centre to treat people who aren't able to afford private
clinics.

Britain's only NHS rehabilitation centre for young people - Middlegate in Lincolnshire - closed last year.
