<p>Drug Rehabilitation Requirements (DRRs) ordered in courts include a condition for
regular drug testing, however these are not specific to a drug and there is no available
data with a breakdown of drug testing frequency.</p><p> </p><p>This information can
only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>We 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.</p><p> </p><p>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.</p><p> </p><p>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>
