answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2022 answer text <p>There is evidence from the UK and other countries that supervised injections of diamorphine in a medical environment as part of a structured treatment plan can assist in keeping patients in treatment and out of criminal behaviour, leading to a reduction in drug-related crime.

It is underpinned by an investment of nearly £900 million in additional funding, including a record £780 million of new investment in drug treatment and recovery services across England.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 02/11/2022 16:00:10 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2022 answer text <p>Heroin assisted treatment (HAT) or diamorphine assisted treatment (DAT) is a clinical intervention supported by the 2017 United Kingdom-wide drug treatment guidelines. Local authorities in England are responsible for commissioning drug treatment services, including whether to commission HAT services. Local authorities’ individual financial allocations and assessments of local need will determine if HAT is a viable intervention. The Government supports areas which pursue HAT where the relevant licences are obtained from the Home Office. In 2021, the former Public Health England provided additional guidance on commissioning and developing a HAT service if local authorities choose this approach.</p><p>The 10-year drug strategy is supported by a new investment of £780 million, including £532 million for local authorities to invest in treatment and recovery services in addition to the Public Health Grant. This allows local authorities to determine which interventions could augment current treatment systems. The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities provides oversight of local delivery and continues to monitor implementation against the aims of the drug strategy.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien grouped question UIN 73042 question first answered 04/11/2022 13:20:41 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
