Recommendations from the expert group on drug-related deaths, published in September 2016, included actions for local and national stakeholders, such as improved treatment provision and provision of naloxone, which has been shown to reduce rates of death due to overdose, and encouraging continued research and investigation into the causes of drug-related deaths.<\/p>

Public Health England (PHE) is supporting local areas to implement the local recommendations. It has accepted the recommendations for PHE and has a programme of work to deliver them.<\/p>
