answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2018 answer text <p>I am grateful for the time that the Committee has spent looking at prison healthcare. We are considering carefully the Committee’s recommendations and will respond in due course. Tackling drugs is vital to ensure safe and productive prison environments and this includes preventing prisoners developing substance misuse issues.</p><p>To do this, we have formed a Drugs Taskforce, working with law enforcement and health partners across government. The Taskforce is developing a national drugs strategy, underpinned by advice and guidance that will support the whole of the estate to restrict supply, reduce demand and build recovery. Restricting access to illicit drugs in prison is crucial to preventing substance misuse. We are working with the police to catch and convict criminals who smuggle contraband into prisons, and exploring additional security measures and new technology to stop these incursions. Reducing demand for drugs in prison also requires us to get the incentives right. We have developed the concept of ‘Incentivised Substance Free Living’, where prisoners who can demonstrate – through regular compact-based and random mandatory testing – that they are not misusing drugs can experience better living conditions. This will support prisoners to make good decisions and prevent them developing issues with substance misuse. We are also testing innovative approaches through our £9 million joint Ministry of Justice and Department of Health and Social Care Drug Recovery Prison pilot at HMP Holme House.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 21/11/2018 17:25:26 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>Victims who elect to receive services under the statutory Probation Victim Contact Scheme are entitled to receive information at key stages of an offender’s sentence. In accordance with the policy for the operation of the Victim Contact Scheme, the recall of an offender to custody is regarded as information which a victim is entitled to receive. That was the case in 2010 when the offender once known as Jon Venables was recalled to custody and remains the case today.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 26/11/2018 17:31:39 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
