Recommendation 8

Paragraph: 42
Concerns about increased NPS potency and use among vulnerable populations persist.
Conclusion
We recognise that the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 was enacted to deal with the surge in new psychoactive substances (NPS) and the related health harms. We note that it was successful in removing the open sale of NPS but are concerned with the use of NPS among vulnerable populations, such as homeless people and people in prison, and with the increasing potency of NPS.
