<p>Nationally, the Government is already delivering a range of actions through the
2017 Drug Strategy to prevent drug misuse in our communities, support people to recover
from dependence on drugs, and support enforcement partners to tackle the illicit drug
trade.</p><p>We have established a Home Secretary-chaired Board which includes representation
from Government departments and wider partners that are critical to drive implementation
of the commitments in the 2017 Drug Strategy.</p><p>However, we recognise there is
still further to go to tackle the problems caused by drugs, which is why the Home
Secretary recently announced an independent review of drugs. The review will provide
an in-depth assessment of some of the challenges we face and identify where there
are opportunities to step up our approach.</p>
