HEALTH and crime officials from across Europe are heading to Lancashire this week to see how drugs and alcohol services tackle addiction.
More than a dozen experts from Germany, Romania, Ukraine, Finland, Slovenia and Russia form part of the delegation, hosted by Lancashire Drugs and Alcohol Action Team.
Part of their trip will include a visit to see the work of Lancashire's multi-agency problem-solving team and drugs treatment services, based in Burnley.
The tour tomorrow will also take in Preston Prison and Lancaster Farms young offenders institution, to assess what work is taking place to tackle drugs in prisons.
