answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2023 answer text <p>As part of the ambitious cross-Government Drug Strategy, we are rolling out a wide range of interventions to support prisoners off drugs and into recovery. This includes testing a new approach to help prisoners with an opiate dependency achieve abstinence, through abstinence-focused Drug Recovery Wings. Seven of these are now open across the estate. Alongside this, we are increasing the number of Incentivised Substance-Free Living units, where prisoners commit to remaining free of illicit drugs with regular drug testing and incentives. We have more than doubled the number of these from 25 last summer to 60 now, aiming to reach up to 100 by March 2025.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 11/09/2023 17:03:36 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

However, there is an ongoing focus on reducing the stigma attached to alcohol use including promoting public awareness of how to lessen alcohol consumption, a preventable risk factor for liver disease, through the NHS ‘Better Health’ campaign, making training to raise awareness of alcohol stigma freely available to NHS frontline staff via the NHS e-learning for healthcare website and specifying ‘provision of trust-wide education and training in relation to alcohol’ as an explicit responsibility for Alcohol Care Team (ACT) staff in the ACT Core Service Descriptor.</p><p>More broadly, through commitments in the Drug Strategy and NHS Long Term Plan, we are facilitating more people in need into local authority commissioned alcohol treatment. Additional treatment and recovery funding, made available through the Drug Strategy, can be used to increase capacity for screening for liver fibrosis in treatment settings and to establish effective referral pathways with hepatology.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 05/07/2023 15:22:26 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
