The Cross Party Group on Alcohol and Drugs will host their Annual General Meeting in the Scottish Parliament on the 26th of February 2019.

The group aims to examine the current policy and practice in responding to drug and alcohol use in Scotland and to advise on and promote the development of realistic, evidence-based responses, which could assist in the reduction of the damaging consequences of drug and alcohol use.

This year, the meeting will have a specific focus on ‘street valium’ and benzodiazepine use, and will hear from a number of professionals in the field who are working actively with people who use and supply the substances.

Date:  26 February 2019
