Alcohol and substance misuse can have devastating effects on individuals,
their families and their communities.
As a Committee, we want to build on our work on new psychoactive substances
â€“ â€œlegal highsâ€ â€“ and consider the impact that alcohol and substance misuse
have on people in Wales.
We have written to organisations like the Welsh Government, the police,
health and education services,
and drug and alcohol services to ask them to tell us what is being done to
tackle alcohol and substance misuse in Wales.
But we would also like your help.
We want to know what it is that makes people turn to drugs or alcohol, and what effect
it has on them. We want to know how well you think these issues are being tackled, and
we want to know whether the right local services are in place to help people.
We want to gather as much information as we can to help us get as clear a picture as possible.
This will help us to make our own informed decisions
and make recommendations to the Welsh Government.
More information is on our website, where you can find details about the inquiry,
how you can tell us what you think, and how you can keep up to date with the inquiry as it progresses.
