Ms Maher spoke about the changing use of different types of drugs by young people in particular. How have the challenges and needs of the canal community changed, not just around the specific types of drugs, but what other challenges have they faced? It looks as though the drugs task force has been undermined in some ways over recent years. How can the role be strengthened? Could Ms Maher also comment on drug-related intimidation? She touched on it and it affects everybody right across all areas.
