Schottland. Scottish Drugs Forum Launch Manifesto
Scottish Drugs Forum has today published Drugs: Policy and Aims – A Manifesto for Scotland.
The manifesto describes problem drug use as being ‘neither a lifestyle choice nor a personal failing’. It recommends that prevention of proble drug use involves addressing its origins and that there should therefore be more support to parents, families and vulnerable young people; improvement in health and other services’ engagement with people in need of support and in addressing Scotland’s social, income and health inequalities that result from poverty.
