The motion

That the Parliament notes the positive impact which the provision of effective drug treatment, rehabilitation and aftercare programmes have in improving health and reducing crime by helping drug addicts into recovery and enabling them to become full, active and contributing members of the community; therefore calls upon the Scottish Ministers to progressively redirect resources towards effective treatment, rehabilitation and aftercare programmes; and further calls upon the Scottish Ministers to establish in each Scottish prison, during the next year, professionally run, comprehensive drug treatment, rehabilitation and aftercare programmes to support drug-misusing prisoners into recovery.
