answer text <p>The complexity and pervasiveness of drug misuse and the harms it causes mean that no one department can tackle it alone. The Home Office remains the lead department for policy on legislation on the misuse of drugs and implementation of the 2017 Drug Strategy, working closely with the Department of Health and Social Care, which is responsible for the recovery strand of the Strategy, Ministry of Justice and other interested Government Departments and agencies. There are no plans to change this. Ministers and officials from both the Home Office and the Department of Health and Social Care regularly hold discussions to develop a collaborative approach to reduce illicit and harmful drug use.</p> more like this

However, using illegal or street drugs during pregnancy, including cannabis, ecstasy, cocaine and heroin, can have a potentially serious effect on an unborn baby and the advice is to avoid these substances.</p><p> </p><p>Advice about alcohol and drugs is available to pregnant women as part of their routine antenatal care. Pregnant women who misuse alcohol or drugs will be put in contact with a midwife or doctor who has special expertise in the care of pregnant women with alcohol or drug problems.
