To the end of 2005 information produced by the Health Promotion Unit on drug awareness has been in the English and Irish languages only.

Under the restructuring of the health services, from January 2006 the Health Services Executive has responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services, including awareness raising media campaigns and health information dissemination. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this issue considered by the relevant section within the Population Health Directorate of the HSE and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
