The Government has decided to develop an integrated National Substance Misuse Strategy to incorporate policy in relation to drugs and alcohol. A Steering Group has been established, chaired by the Departments of Community, Rural & Gaeltacht Affairs and Health & Children, comprising representatives of the key statutory, community, voluntary and industry sectors will be developing proposals in this regard for submission to Government.
