Motion NDM6082 as amended

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes the Welsh Government priorities for Substance Misuse as set out in the Substance Misuse Delivery Plan 2016-18.

2. Recognises the problems inherent to the delivery of substance misuse treatment services across Wales, given that the latest statistics from the Welsh National Database for Substance Misuse show that only 13 per cent of individuals were deemed substance free by the end of treatment from all referrals to drug and alcohol agencies in Wales.

3. Calls on the Welsh Government to reflect on the latest data on NHS Wales Substance Misuse and bring forward proposals that will ensure substance misusers access timely and effective treatment.
