British-Irish Council – Annual Report – 2012
During 2012 the work sector also covered issues such as (i) developing methods of assessing
progress of local drugs programmes to inform wider policy development; (ii) the development
and implementation of Naloxone programmes to reduce deaths from heroin overdoses; and
(iii) issues around the misuse of prescription drugs, in particular Benzodiazepines.
In 2013, the work sector will continue its work on sharing latest trends around the misuse of
drugs and appropriate responses and will take forward co-operation and the sharing of best
practice around tackling the growing social, health and economic impacts surrounding the use
and misuse of alcohol.
