Policy Address

85.       To make available another effective drug-testing tool, the Government Laboratory will take the lead in bringing in hair drug testing, with a view to transferring the technology to the industry.

86.       We will provide more rehabilitation facilities for young drug abusers. We have been closely liaising with anti-drug organisations to formulate new and effective modes of service and treatment programmes. We will invite suggestions in due course.

87.       Drug testing is just one aspect of the anti-drug campaign. The Government is firmly committed to fighting drug abuse by tackling it on all fronts, including education and publicity, treatment and rehabilitation, legislation and law enforcement, external co-operation, and empirical research.  We are joining hands with the Mainland's public security authorities to combat cross-boundary drug abuse and trafficking.
