I propose to take Questions Nos. 309, 336 and 339 together.
Treatment for drug addicted offenders is available in all prison institutions as part of the general medical services available to all inmates. Any offender who is willing to make a real effort to stop abusing drugs and who shows the necessary commitment and motivation will be supported by appropriate medical intervention and therapeutic counselling. It is, unfortunately, the case that despite the availability of the treatment options many offenders continue to fail to grasp the opportunities provided to address their addiction. While the majority of offenders are imprisoned for offences which are not drug related, many commit offences as a direct result of their drug abuse history.
