PHDSIG Introduction
Vision
Scotland is a country where individuals, families and communities:
- Have the right to health and life free from the harms of alcohol and drugs
- Are treated with dignity and respect
- Are fully supported within communities to achieve their own type of recovery
The purpose of the PHDSIG is to:
- Provide those leading on the implementation of a public health approach to the Scottish Drugs strategy “Rights, Respect and Recovery” with a forum to communicate, collaborate and coordinate action.
- Provide strategic advice on the development and implementation of public health approaches in Scottish drug policy to Scottish Directors of Public Health.
- Provide operational advice and support on public health approaches to organisations and groups implementing Rights, Respect and Recovery
