Our task is to now build on this. For the first time Departments and Agencies are working together to achieve corporate performance targets. The targets are tough but we are determined to achieve them. Speaking after the publication of the report, Mr Hellawell welcomed good progress in the fight against drug misuse. The aim of Government's drugs strategy is to create a healthy and confident society, increasingly free from the harm caused by the misuse of drugs.
Partnership is the key to the menace of drugs misuse.
The progress that Departments, Agencies and voluntary organisations have made to date have given us a solid platform from which resolves the complex problems of drugs misuse. The performance targets now in place are robust and meaningful and will enable us to measure our progress over the coming year.
