The Department for Transport has not made a specific assessment of the impact of the time taken to receive toxicology results on the prosecution of drug-driving offences.

Operational matters relating to evidential testing, forensic analysis and prosecutions are primarily for the police, the Home Office and the Crown Prosecution Service.
