(1 )The Prison Service/NOMS defines self-harm as any incident where a prisoner deliberately harms themselves irrespective of method, intent or severity of any injury. The numbers of self-harm incidents reported here are based on information supplied by prisons through the Prison Service Incident Reporting System. Many self-harm incidents often involve the same individuals, and changing numbers of incidents at different prisons can reflect the movement of such prisoners. Self-harm is a high volume incident that can be subject to technical and recording problems. While the system provides a sensible indication of the scale of self-harm the numbers of incidents should not be treated as absolute.

Prisons: Drugs
Mr. Heath:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many and what percentage of prisoners in each contracted-out prison were subject to yearly mandatory drug testing in each of the last five years; and (a) how many and (b) what percentage of those tested positive for drugs. [188348]
Mr. Hanson:
Prisoners are subject to both random and targeted mandatory drug testing. The figures(1) for contracted out prisons in each of the last five years are given in the following tables. Some prisoners will have been tested more than once in any year.
