Heroin and Morphine: Death
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of changes in the number of deaths from heroin and morphine abuse over the first full year since they placed a financial incentive on the successful completion of drug treatment; and whether they have any plans to discontinue that policy on the grounds of patient safety.
- Answer
-
Whilst no conclusions can be drawn from one year’s data, Public Health England is analysing the drug misuse and treatment datasets to identify possible reasons for the change in drug misuse deaths reported in 2013. This analysis is due to be published in a statistical bulletin in 2015 and will help inform any possible future actions.
