The drug treatment and testing order (DTTO) was introduced under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and rolled out to courts in England and Wales on 1 October 2000, after successfully being piloted. Between 1 April 2001 and 31 July 2002, 192 DTTOs were made in Hampshire, of which 47 orders were made in Portsmouth (including Portsmouth, Fareham and Havant).

DTTO figures for individual constituencies are not available.
