Motion NDM6559 as amended:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes the progress being made in tackling the harms associated with substance misuse, as highlighted in the Welsh Government’s Substance Misuse Annual Report and Forward Look.

2. Believes that substance misuse is a public health issue not a criminal justice issue.

3. Calls on the Welsh Government to increase capacity in Tier 4 in-patient detoxification and residential rehabilitation services, recognising that this is not an alternative to recovery-focused services within the community.
