PREVENTION OF DRUG-RELATED DEATHS

Early day motion 34, tabled 18 May 2016 by Mary Glindon (Labour). Signed by 25 members.

That this House remains concerned that drug-related deaths are at the highest level on record; recognises the vital role of drug treatment services; notes that the regularity of retendering for service can be destabilising and funding reductions are damaging, both to those providing and those receiving support; reminds the Government that its drug strategy highlights the prevention of drug-related deaths as one of its key outcomes; and calls on the Government to prioritise treatment in an urgent effort to reverse the alarming recent rise in drug deaths.
