The problems of drug misuse are complex and require integrated solutions and co-ordinated delivery of services involving education, intelligence and enforcement, social and economic policy, and health. Tackling drugs requires effective joint working between Government Departments at national level and similar partnership working between agencies at local level. Drug Teams in the Government Offices (formerly DPAS) monitor the effectiveness of local delivery by Drug and Alcohol Action Teams (DAATs) through support and advice to ensure consistency of approach and high quality provision.
