Committee on Drugs Use
A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Ms Fiona Wright:
We have taken on board recommendations from previous reviews. The reviews in 2010 and 2013 made a number of recommendations. We have supported those and dealt with them as best we could and we have done our best to promote the drug treatment court within the resources we have. That is what we will continue to do. We very much welcome the review outlined in the strategic action plan in the national drugs strategy. We see it as another opportunity to look at those recommendations, expand on them and see where we can improve. It has been a long time. The year 2013 is nearly 12 years ago - my maths has gone - it is a number of years ago, and things have changed in the drugs world. We would like to very much play our part in this review and we will support as best we can any recommendations that come from it.
