This conference examined policy priorities for tackling drug dependence.
It was a timely opportunity to assess the long-term strategy recently announced by the UK Government - following the independent review of drugs led by Professor Dame Carol Black, who was keynote speaker at this conference.
We were pleased also to be able to include keynote sessions with Rosanna O’Connor, Director, Addictions & Inclusion, Office of Health Improvement & Disparities, Department of Health and Social Care; and Dr Keith Humphreys, Professor of Psychiatry, Stanford University; Advisor to the Independent Review of Drugs; and former drug policy advisor to President Barack Obama.
The conference was an opportunity for stakeholders to consider the issues alongside key policy officials who attended from DHSC; the DWP; HMPPS; HMRC; HM Treasury; the Home Office; the MoJ; the NAO; the OLS; The Scottish Government; and the Welsh Government - as well as parliamentary pass-holders from the House of Commons.
