Received the report and the Board:
(i) Noted the work to
date and discussed GPs, pharmacies and other health partners and
schools actions in response to this problem.
(ii) Agreed this issue should be part of the Substance Misuse Strategy and requested Partners to disseminate information to their staff and that cross borough working may be beneficial, especially in regards to spreading information and awareness to the public and professionals.
(iii) Requested a report on over the counter medication abuse at a future Board meeting.
