answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>Drug Rehabilitation Requirements (DRRs) include a condition for regular drug testing. However, these are not specific to a drug.</p><p> </p><p>There is good evidence from a Ministry of Justice (MOJ)-Public Health England (PHE) data share that community based drug and alcohol treatment can be effective in reducing reoffending. Recently published experimental statistics show that among those who committed an offence in the two years before undergoing drug or alcohol treatment, there was a 33% reduction in the number of offences they committed in the subsequent two years. Forty-four percent of offenders did not go on to reoffend in the subsequent two years following treatment.</p><p> </p><p>We are working with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), NHS England and PHE to develop a protocol to support greater use of community sentences with treatment requirements (CSTRs) in courts, including DRRs.</p><p> </p><p>The CSTR protocol focuses on reducing reoffending by addressing the health needs of offenders that may be contributing to their offending behaviour. This is operating across five courts within England (as health is devolved in Wales). These sites are Milton Keynes, Northampton, Birmingham, Sefton and Plymouth.</p><p> </p><p>DHSC has led an evaluation of the implementation of the protocol across the five sites, looking at aspects of CSTRs that are working well and changes in the use of CSTRs over the evaluation period. The evaluation report will be published early next year.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 15/11/2018 17:32:02 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>The Legal Aid Agency (LAA) does not track expenditure by the person/s involved.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>An application for a residence is not an application for leave to enter or remain and legal aid to assist with such an application is outside the scope of the legal aid scheme.</p><p>The EU Settlement Scheme will be a streamlined, user-friendly process, in line with the draft Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union published on 19 March 2018, for resident EU citizens and their family members to obtain the UK immigration status which they will require in order to remain in the UK beyond the end of the planned implementation period on 31 December 2020. For those EU citizens who might need additional help when applying under the scheme, the Home Office has announced a grant scheme for the voluntary and community sector which will help to ensure support is available.</p><p>An individual will not need to apply to the scheme if they hold either indefinite leave to remain in the UK or indefinite leave to enter. There is specific legal aid provision for victims of modern slavery and human trafficking for immigration advice and representation, including assistance with an application for these forms of leave.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 20/11/2018 17:48:14 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer previous answer version 85832 answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
