Prevention Of Drug-Related Deaths

EDM number 34 in 2016-17, proposed by Mary Glindon on 18/05/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Death, Drugs misuse, Health education and preventive medicine and Health services.

That this House remains concerned that drug-related deaths are at the highest level on record; recognises the vital role of drug treatment services; notes that the regularity of retendering for service can be destabilising and funding reductions are damaging, both to those providing and those receiving support; reminds the Government that its drug strategy highlights the prevention of drug-related deaths as one of its key outcomes; and calls on the Government to prioritise treatment in an urgent effort to reverse the alarming recent rise in drug deaths.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
