Drug Deaths Task Force

The Drug Deaths Taskforce has recommended six evidence-based strategies that must be central to responding to the drug death crisis as follows:

• Targeted Distribution of Naloxone
• Implement Immediate Response Pathway for Non-fatal Overdose
• Optimise the use of Medication-Assisted Treatment
• Target the People Most at Risk
• Optimise Public Health Surveillance
• Ensure Equivalence of Support for People in the Criminal Justice System

WDADP is committed to following these recommendations with activity that will be implemented through the relevant Sub-Group Delivery Plans.
