<p>The Government has not made a formal assessment of the benefits of drug testing
services but it recognises the potential harm reduction benefits of them. The Government
facilitates drug testing services provided that the possession and supply of controlled
drugs are licensed by the Home Office Drugs and Firearms Licensing Unit or, exceptionally,
relevant exemptions under the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 may apply.</p><p>Ministers
are clear that drug testing services must not condone drug use and should only be
delivered where licensed and operated responsibly, in line with Government policy
to ensure that they discourage drug use and signpost potential users to treatment
and support.</p><p> </p>
