Remit
The main aims of the National Forum on Drug-related Deaths are:
- To make recommendations to Scottish Government Ministers, Alcohol and Drug Partnerships and other joint planning groups as appropriate on action and policy changes;
- To consider any new research findings from the national and international medical literature and consider policy issues as expressed elsewhere. Appropriate experts are asked to contribute to discussions;
- To identify areas where examples of good practice are recognised and disseminated to others through the newsletter Drug Death Matters, published on the Drug Misuse Information Scotland (DMIS) website; and
- To report annually to Scottish Ministers with recommendations for further action as required.
