(3) Four times per annum.
(4) Annual agency action plans more specifically outline the key activities that will be implemented by the respective Drug and Alcohol Strategic Senior Officers' Group (DASSOG) member agencies to support the
Interagency Framework
.
(5) The strategic direction of the Drug and Alcohol Office is aligned with the
Interagency Framework
and respective annual agency action plan. As per the 2011 Government budget papers the forward estimates of the Office are as follows:
2011/12: $63,038,000
2012/13: $66,628,000
2013/14: $68,498,000
2014/15: $71,286,000
The Mental Health Commission (MHC) allocation of resources for the implementation of their annual agency action plan for 2011/12 is $67,279.50.
However, it should be noted that many of the programs funded by the MHC across public and non-government mental health services provide assessment, treatment and referral services to people who experience alcohol and other drug problems alongside their mental health related illness. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately quantify the proportion of program funding directed towards drug and alcohol activity.
The annual funding of the other DASSOG member agency action plans is the responsibility of the respective Minister with the corresponding portfolio responsibility.
(6) The
Interagency Framework
is an evidence based strategy that aims to prevent and reduce the adverse impacts of alcohol and other drugs in the Western Australian community.
(7) The level of consumer participation will differ between the various DASSOG member agencies.
