Committee on Drugs Use

Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use: Discussion

9:30 am

Dr. Jo-Hanna Ivers:

I will just qualify that. One of the recommendations very clearly states to place health in all policies and that is exactly what this refers to: making cross-sectoral Government Departments responsible. To qualify that, when I talk about cross-sectoral Government Departments I am talking about a whole-of-society approach because they are the Departments that represent society. It will absolutely mean that.
