London: The highs and lows 2 - audio from the launch

 London: The highs and the lows 2 report from the Greater London Alcohol and Drug Alliance (GLADA),  was launched by the Mayor of London at City Hall on Monday 22nd January.

• This second edition of London: The highs and the lows presents information on alcohol as well as drug use in London (the first edition was drugs only).
• The report contains detailed information on the way that drug and alcohol use in London differs from the UK as a whole, and also on the variations across London.
• It reveals the complexity of the challenges London faces and re-emphasises the necessity for partnership working to reduce the harm caused by drug and alcohol use.
• Working with GLADA, the Mayor is committed to publishing one 'Highs and Lows' report in each Mayoral term and to continuing to support their wider programme of work.
