<table><tbody><tr><td><p>The table below shows the number of Drug Rehabilitation Requirements
(DRRs) commenced under community orders and suspended sentence orders in England and
Wales since 2013. There is no available data with a separation of figures for the

are working with the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England and Public
Health England to develop a protocol to support greater use of community sentences
with treatment requirements (CSTRs) in courts, including DRRs. The CSTR protocol sets
out what is expected from all relevant agencies to ensure improved access to treatment
for offenders who need it. It focuses on reducing reoffending by addressing the health
needs of offenders that may be contributing to their offending behaviour. The protocol
is operating across five courts within England (as health is devolved in Wales). These
sites are Milton Keynes, Northampton, Birmingham, Sefton and Plymouth.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
