Written Question
Tuesday 14th February 2017
Asked by:
Gary Streeter (Conservative - South West Devon)
Question
to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps she is taking to protect prison officers from the harmful effects of psychoactive substances used by prisoners.
Answered by Sam Gyimah
We take a zero tolerance approach to drugs in prisons. Psychoactive substances present a variety of risks to our establishments, not just to the individuals taking them but also to other prisoners and staff.
We are committed to improving safety across the prison estate and are already taking action on the supply and use of dangerous psychoactive substances by prisoners. We have developed an innovative new drug testing programme, trained over 300 drug detection dogs to specifically detect psychoactive substances and introduced new legislation, which makes it a criminal offence to possess any psychoactive substance in a custodial institution.
All prisons have robust risk assessments and control measures in place, including local first aid and healthcare provisions. If staff suspect they have been exposed to drugs or psychoactive substances, there are a range of support mechanisms available to them. This includes confidential counselling, occupational health services and care-teams in prisons. Following any suspected exposure, staff are also advised to visit the nearest Accident & Emergency Department so that their symptoms can be treated and the appropriate medical advice can be received.

Asked by:
Gary Streeter (Conservative - South West Devon)
Question
to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the efficacy of measures to prevent drugs being smuggled into HM Prison Dartmoor.
Answered by Andrew Selous
HM Prison Service operates an audit assurance mechanism to monitor prison security performance against national standards. On a yearly basis Internal Audit and Assurance Group visit each establishment to measure the effectiveness of local policies and procedures and award a rating according to the level of assurance gained.
HMP Dartmoor received a security audit between the 24th and the 28th February 2014. The establishment was awarded the maximum possible green rating for all security modules assessed. Across recent audits HMP Dartmoor has received a green rating for all modules measuring the effectiveness of measures for preventing the conveyance of illicit articles.
