We do not tolerate drugs in prison and anyone caught with them will be punished and could face further prosecution.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>NOMS has in place a comprehensive drugs strategy. The success of this strategy is illustrated by the reduction of drug misuse - as measured by the random mandatory drug testing programme - which has declined by 17.0 percentage points over the past fifteen years (positive rates were 24.4% in 1996/7 and 7.4% in 2013/14) despite the fact that more drugs are being tested for. Random MDT provides a reliable and statistically valid way of measuring patterns and trends of drug misuse in prisons at national and regional level.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>There is growing evidence that there has been an increase in the use and seizure of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) into prisons. We have already announced a series of measures to crack down on this and will ensure Governors have the powers and support they need to tackle it.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>New, additional powers in the Criminal Courts and Justice Bill will give powers to specify non-controlled drugs (including New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) and prescription drugs) which can be tested for as part of the Mandatory Drug Testing Programme.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>NOMS has also very recently circulated new guidance to prison governors, which sets out clearly for the first time the measures available to them to deal with NPS.
