Tackling Drugs in Scotland.
Partnership driving forward delivery of the strategy is the key to success.
That partnership must encompass Government and agencies with an organisational interest in tackling drug misuse. But it should also involve those affected by its wide-spread consequences including parents, young people, business and users. Other agencies, not specifically charged with tackling drug misuse, are substantially involved in Government initiatives which have a bearing on the drugs problem. The Government have also sought to involve business, with its commercial interest in successfully tackling the drug problem, and the media, which can influence the way people look at the issues. More needs to be done to bring these disparate interests together in common cause.
