Amy Winehouse's father claims she has not touched drugs for one year.
Rehab singer Amy Winehouse has been clean of drugs for a year, her father has told MPs.
Speaking before the home affairs select committee on the cocaine trade, Mitch Winehouse revealed his daughter's progress with her drug problem, but said ordinary people may not be so lucky.
"We were very fortunate - we were able to afford the best doctors, clinical psychologists, rehabilitation and hospitals [for Amy]," he said.
However, Mr Winehouse added that he discovered that there are very few drug treatment facilities in the UK for other people.
Commenting, Steve Rolles, head of research at the Transform Drug Policy Foundation, told the Guardian that the media needs to stop concentrating on celebrities who use drugs and look at the wider problems illegal substances cause in countries such as Columbia.
Recently, former Culture Club frontman Boy George told the Times that he wrote a song about Winehouse while he was in prison for beating and falsely imprisoning a man.
