More community pride and respect is needed in the Island's fight again drug and alcohol misuse, according to a North Douglas MHK.
Bill Henderson was speaking after Tynwald members spent five hours debating the next Strategic Plan before backing its contents.
This included a section promising to support the existing drug and alcohol policy, along with aiming to create a new detox unit and a drug enforcement agency.
Mr Henderson (pictured) says we are all responsible for bucking the trend; starting at home:
CoMin making 'significant and determined efforts' to implement recommendations from Ranson review
Rain events 'difficult to forecast' on the Isle of Man
Planning permission granted for 26 industrial units
Port St Mary Commissioners urging residents not to 'struggle in silence'
