This will increase capacity, helping to reduce waiting times for appellants. Information on the new digital service can be found at:<\/p> https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-online-service-launched-for-pip-appeals<\/p> We are also taking forward initiatives with potential to increase the capacity and performance of the tribunal: for instance, introducing case management \u201ctriage\u201d sessions, with the aim of reducing the time taken for appeals to reach final determination.

We are considering carefully the Committee\u2019s 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> 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 \u2018Incentivised Substance Free Living\u2019, where prisoners who can demonstrate \u2013 through regular compact-based and random mandatory testing \u2013 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>"}
