The first annual report of the drug strategy sets out the progress from the first year of delivery, one year into the governments 10 year plan.
This report outlines progress on national delivery following the first full year of funding associated with the strategy, including delivery against commitments and goals, the key issues and challenges, including delivery of the recommendations made by the governments Independent Advisor Dame Carol Black in her 2021 Review of Drugs.
There are chapters looking at Combating Drugs Partnerships and the National Outcomes Framework. There is a commitment to support multi-agency delivery through setting out national expectations on local prioritisation, leadership and structures through the development of Combating Drugs Partnerships with Senior Responsible Owners - while the National Outcomes Framework offers a system level view of progress based on our collective goals to deliver meaningful and real change for individuals and communities.
The annual report also looks forward with a focus on action, impact and high-quality system reform.
