Chief Executive's Office
Joint Drug and Alcohol Strategy
Welcome to the official website of the Isle of Man Chief Minister's Drug and Alcohol Strategy.
The Drug and Alcohol Strategy Group, chaired by David Quirk MHK and coordinated by Julian Lalor-Smith (Director of Administration and Legislation), provides advice, support and guidance to the Chief Minister, Minister for Home Affairs, Council of Ministers and the Chief Officers Group on drug and alcohol policy issues.
In relation to the Drug and Alcohol Strategy their key task is to advise and support the Social Policy Committee chaired by the Chief Minister in the development and implementation of the updated Joint Strategy which was launched in April 2005. This involves collaborative work across government departments, statutory and non-statutory agencies, community organisations and other interested parties. The original drug and alcohol strategies were separate documents. In 1999 the Drug Strategy was launched and the Alcohol Strategy was launched in 2000. Both of these strategies were reviewed and updated into a Joint Strategy which was launched in 2005.
Recent annual reports of the Strategy and related research are available on this site under Research and Information, in addition to the Updated Joint Strategy. The 2008 report of the initial findings of the school survey carried out by ESPAD (European School Survey Project for Alcohol and other Drugs) can be found at the bottom of this page.
Further information can be obtained from the Department by either e-mailing generalenquiries.dha@gov.im or telephoning 694300.
