Supporting the participation of individuals, families and communities is on of the goals of the national drugs strategy. Community and voluntary groups, including the group mentioned by the Deputy, are represented on the national oversight committee (NOC), which I chair. The NOC meets on a quarterly basis. It provides a forum for groups to give leadership, direction, prioritisation and mobilisation of resources to support the implementation of the national drugs strategy.
Outside of the quarterly meetings of the NOC, I have had one face to face meeting with the group named by the deputy.
