Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will place in the Library the responses to Public Health England's consultation on drug misuse and dependence.

Public Health England (PHE) has convened an expert group, chaired by Professor John Strang, to consider the responses to the consultation on a possible update to the United Kingdom guidelines on the clinical management of drug misuse and dependence.

PHE is providing secretariat to the group, and we will place consultation responses in the Library after the expert group has had the opportunity to review them in full. The expert group has not yet determined when this will be.
