Progress towards key performance targets will be carefully monitored over the 10 years of the strategy. The targets relate to reducing young people's drug misuse and drug-related offending, increasing participation in drug treatment programmes and reducing access. Details of targets will be included in the UK Anti-Drugs Co-ordinator's first annual report and national plan due to be published shortly.
