	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2023 answer text <p>Diamorphine Assisted Treatment (DAT) is an option that remains open to local areas under the existing legal framework, and we support those areas who pursue this approach, where the relevant licences are obtained from the Home Office. DAT is aimed at those who are already engaging with treatment but are not responding to opioid substitution therapy.</p><p>Evidence supporting the value of targeted injectable opioid treatment (“IOT”) programmes, including heroin/diamorphine assisted treatment (“DAT”), in both the UK and other countries has been published and informed the UK clinical guidelines for drug misuse and dependence, as well as guidance on commissioning and developing IOT services.</p><p>There is mixed evidence for the effectiveness of DAT in tackling drug-related crime compared with other forms of opioid substitution therapy. However, the crime reduction benefits of effective drug treatment, including IOT, is well documented and investing in improved capacity and quality of drug treatment services is an important part of the Government’s approach to reduce drug-related crime as is set out in the Drug Strategy.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 04/12/2023 16:19:18 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2023 answer text <p>Serious Violence Reduction Orders (SVROs) are a new civil order being piloted in four police forces: Thames Valley, Merseyside, Sussex, and West Midlands. The orders provide the police the powers to stop and search convicted knife offenders.</p><p>These four forces have been selected as they have the required volume of knife crime or offensive weapons offenders per force as well as a wide range of demographics to test the impact and effectiveness of the orders. Piloting in these four forces also allows for the effectiveness of SVROs to be tested in both urban and semi-urban forces.</p><p>SVROs are being robustly evaluated by our independent evaluator, Ecorys. Following the conclusion of the pilot we will lay a report in Parliament on the operation of the pilot, which will include full details on the number of SVROs issued and the related stop and search and arrest data.</p><p>In addition, the Home Office has expanded its 2023/24 stop and search data collection to capture information on searches which have taken place under a Serious Violence Reduction Order. These data will be available at Police Force Area level and are likely to be published at the end of 2024.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp grouped question UIN 195365 195366 195367 question first answered 04/09/2023 08:52:56 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
