I am particularly interested in the first strategy priority because it is a big problem. This is the prevention of drug use among children and young people. We all know that young people go out on Saturday nights and take cocaine in huge numbers. Is the strategy working? I suggest it probably is not. What is the Department doing to try to counter it? How does it audit how successful the strategy is in terms of prevention among children and young people?
