The home affairs minister has called for more people to take an interest in the Drug and Alcohol Strategy and offer their input, if they aren't happy with how it's being run.

He said just a few months ago his department, via strategy co-ordinator Margaret O'Reilly, held a number of exhibitions around the Island which were poorly attended:
