Organiser: New Zealand Drug Foundation
Experts from around New Zealand, and from overseas, gathered in Wellington on Tuesday 30 August 2011 for a Drug Policy Symposium organised by NZ Drug Foundation and NZ Society on Alcohol and Drug Dependence.
The purpose of the Symposium was to focus the attention of policy makers and funders on ways to develop a high quality addiction treatment system that gets more people into treatment and retains those who are already in it.
Speakers include Associate Minister of Health Peter Dunne, and one-time Deputy Drug Czar to the Obama Administration Professor Tom McLellan.
