Local and Regional Drugs Task Forces support a range of measures that target drug misuse in their areas, based on identified local needs. These can include, for example, drugs awareness and prevention initiatives. In the context of the funding available for 2010, I have asked the Task Forces to assess all projects currently being funded to ensure that they are drugs targeted and evidence-based; can show tangible outputs and outcomes; are addressing current gaps and needs in their local areas and can demonstrate clear links with the priorities as set out in the National Drugs Strategy 2009-16. It will be a matter for each Task Force to identify emerging needs such as that referred to by the Deputy and prioritise them for funding.
