The National Drugs Strategy 2009-2016 is a cross cutting area of public policy and service delivery. It is based on a co-ordinated approach across many Government Departments and Agencies in conjunction with the Community and Voluntary sectors and I intend that this approach will continue.

Periodic reviews of progress across the five pillars of the Strategy are carried out through the Oversight Forum on Drugs which I chair.

A progress report on each of the 63 Actions of the National Drugs Strategy is prepared each year and posted on my Department's website at www.health.gov.ie. The draft report for 2014 is still under consideration by the Oversight Forum on Drugs. I will arrange for a copy of the report to be sent to the Deputy when it has been agreed by the Forum.
