I presume the Deputy is referring to the mid-term review of the national drugs strategy, which asks that a working group be established, involving key stakeholders in both the alcohol and drugs areas, to explore the potential for better co-ordination between the two areas and how synergies could be improved. The group is requested to also examine and make recommendations on whether a combined strategy is the appropriate way forward and report by end 2006. The group is to be established in the near future.
