Stated action
“The government recognises that there is a need to improve specialist community drug and alcohol services for children and young people. We hope that the £532million of supplemental funding that we are investing in the delivery of the drug strategy will allow local authorities to meet the needs of residents that have substance misuse needs - including children and young people.”
