Description
It was agreed that, rather than undertaking a full new strategic development process, the existing New Strategic Direction for Alcohol and Drugs (NSD) would be reviewed, revised, and extended until 2016. This decision was taken to ensure a consistent approach on the issue over a ten-year period, and to ensure that resources continue to be directed at front-line services, programmes, and interventions. It also allowed the NSD to reflect new trends, and re-direct effort to where it is most needed or to where new issues/concerns are emerging.This document is the outcome of that work, and sets the policy direction for reducing the harm related to alcohol and drug misuse across Northern Ireland for the period October 2011 – October 2016.
