What’s the Government doing about drugs?
Recent developments
Government response to the independent review of drugs by Dame Carol Black (2021)
Released in late July 2021 the government set out its response to parts 1 and 2 of Dame Carol Black’s independent review of drugs ( see below).
Commitments include:
A new long-term drugs strategy published by the end of 2021.
A national outcomes framework.
A “combating drugs delivery board” to oversee the work of the Drugs Unit and to include representation from six key government departments, the Treasury, and No. 10.
A new drugs programme which will produce an annual report for Parliament, starting in 2022.
A local outcomes framework and a commissioning quality standard drafted “in consultation with the local system”.
Independent review of drugs part two: prevention, treatment, and recovery [Dame Carol Black report, part 2], 2021
This is Part 2 of Dame Carol Black’s independent review for government, setting out a way forward on drug treatment and recovery. Part 1 (below) laid bare the extent of the illicit drugs market in the UK, worth almost £10 billion a year, with 3 million users and a supply chain that has become increasingly violent and exploitative. This is explored further in Part 2, which concludes that the public provision we currently have for prevention, treatment and recovery is not fit for purpose, and urgently needs repair | DHSC, UK
January 2021 – Government announcement on funding: Home Secretary Priti Patel and Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced a £148 million new investment. The new approach, named Project ADDER, gives extra resources to law enforcement to dismantle organised criminal gangs and tackle the supply of drugs. £80 million will also be earmarked for drug treatment and recovery. While the increased funding for treatment has been broadly welcomed it has been seen as too little by many in the field.
Independent Review of drugs, part one: supply and demand [Dame Carol Black report, part 1] (2020) In February 2019, the Home Secretary appointed Professor Dame Carol Black to undertake an independent review of drugs. This was to inform the government’s thinking on what more can be done to tackle the harm that drugs cause. Dame Carol’s response to phase one of the commission provides an analysis of the challenges posed by drug supply and demand, including the ways in which drugs fuel violence.
Drug strategy 2017
The drug strategy 2017 sets out how the government and its partners, at local, national and international levels, will take new action to tackle drug misuse and the harms it causes | Home Office, UK
Here are the government’s stated aims from the strategy which was published on 14th July 2017:
Our ambition is for fewer people to use drugs in the first place, but for those that do – and who then experience problems – we want to help them to stop and to live a life free from
dependence. Our overall aims therefore remain to reduce all illicit and other harmful drug use, and increase the rate of individuals recovering from their dependence. But we
want to go further, and achieve our greater ambition both for progress against these aims as well as against a broader set of indicators which reflect the partnership approach that needs to be taken to tackle drug misuse and
its harms.
1. Reduce illicit and other harmful drug use
In addition to overall prevalence, we will measure frequency (e.g. monthly) and type of drug use (e.g. opiates and crack) to provide an additional perspective on
some of the most problematic drug use.
Where possible we will provide this data both at national and local levels in order to track progress and enhance local understanding and efforts to tackle drug
use.
