To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many times the Minister of State for Crime Prevention has met with (a) chief constables and (b) police and crime commissioners to discuss combating prescription drug abuse in the last 12 months.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many times the Minister of State for Crime Prevention has met with (a) chief constables and (b) police and crime commissioners to discuss combating prescription drug abuse in the last 12 months.
[holding answer 13 January 2014]: Home Office Ministers have regular meetings with ministerial colleagues and others as part of the process of policy development and delivery. As was the case with previous Administrations, it is not the Government's practice to provide details of all such meetings.
We are fully aware of the dangers of prescription drug misuse. This is why in September 2013 the Home Secretary asked the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) to explore the potential for medical and social harms arising from the diversion and illicit supply of prescription drugs. I have asked that this work includes consideration of the prevalence of misuse, user demographics, and the most common drugs being misused.
The ACMD is likely to report later in the year.
Second debate on the ninth report of the Home Affairs Committee, Session 2012-13, Drugs: Breaking the Cycle, HC 184, and the Government response, Cm 8567. Agreed to on question.

We cannot break the devastating cycle of drugs unless we deal with the issue of drugs in prisons. Why does not the Government adopt the recommendations of the Home Affairs Committee, which are simple: mandatory testing of prisoners when they enter the prisons, and mandatory testing when they come out of prisons? That will give her all the figures she needs in order to deal with this serious problem.

We feel that investing in comprehensive testing may not be the best way to tackle the problem, but the Government welcome the Home Affairs Committee report, “Drugs: Breaking the Cycle”, and we will of course give careful consideration to all the findings and recommendations.

| Finished admission episodes | |||||
| 2. A finished admission episode is the first period of in-patient care under one consultant within one health care provider. Finished admission episodes are counted against the year in which the admission episode finishes. It should be noted that admissions do not represent the number of in-patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year. | |||||
| Primary diagnosis | |||||
| 3. The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 20 (14 from 2002-03 to 2006-07 and seven prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data set and provides the main reason why the patient was admitted to hospital. | |||||
| Secondary diagnosis | |||||
| 4. As well as the primary diagnosis, there are up to 19 (13 from 2002-03 to 2007-08 and six prior to 2002-03) secondary diagnosis fields in HES that show other diagnoses relevant to the episode of care. | |||||
| Data quality | |||||
| 5. HES are compiled from data sent by more than 300 NHS trusts and primary care trusts in England. Data is also received from a number of independent sector organisations for activity commissioned by the English NHS. The NHS Information Centre for health and social care liaises closely with these organisations to encourage submission of complete and valid data and seeks to minimise inaccuracies and the effect of missing and invalid data via HES processes. While this brings about improvement over time, some shortcomings remain. | |||||
| Assessing growth through time | |||||
| 6. HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. The quality and coverage of the data have improved over time. These improvements in information submitted by the NHS have been particularly marked in the earlier years and need to be borne in mind when analysing time series. Some of the increase in figures for later years (particularly 2006-07 onwards) may be due to the improvement in the coverage of independent sector activity. | |||||
| Changes in NHS practice also need to be borne in mind when analysing time series. For example, a number of procedures may now be undertaken in out-patient settings and may no longer be accounted for in the HES data. This may account for any reductions in activity over time. | |||||

| 8. The ICD-10 codes for hypertension are I10 to I15. From work carried out by the North West Public Health Observatory we are able to estimate what the proportion of hospital admissions are due to alcohol consumption, this is known as the alcohol attributable fraction (MF). Hypertensive diseases have an MF of 0.34 for males and 0.24 for females. | |||||

That this House is deeply concerned with the increased use of steroids by Asian youths between their late teens and mid twenties; notes that a study of a needle exchange in Bradford has noted a rise from five per cent. to 30 per cent. of Asians who use the centre, with many primarily using steroids; is further concerned that at a needle exchange centre in Luton, 84 per cent. of Asian visitors admitted to taking steroids; expresses regret that despite awareness of the extreme side-effects of the use of steroids by these teenagers the pressure to maintain a body image surpasses the desire to avoid the dangers of steroid use; further notes that access to steroids is readily available online and sourced from countries abroad such as Pakistan; calls on the Government to impose online regulation for steroid distribution and more stringent rules on the sourcing of steroids; further calls for an immediate investigation into the range of steroid drugs available to create a deeper awareness of the dangers, and suggests complementing raising awareness with information on alternative, effective ways to keep physically fit; and believes such action will directly curb the use of steroids by Asian youths.
