Advise the Governor on policies to be adopted to interdict
illicit traffic in dangerous drugs into and through Hong Kong
and to keep these policies under regular review;
Advise the Governor on measures necessary to eradicate drug
abuse from the community;
Be the channel for advice to the Governor on the appropriate
allocation of resources to ensure the implementation of
government policies;
Ensure co-ordination and co-operation between government
departments and voluntary agencies working towards the
implementation of these policies and to enlist public support
for them;
Keep under review programmes and projects undertaken by
government and voluntary agencies to ensure that they are
effective;
Draw the attention of government to policies, programmes,
projects, laws and procedures it feels should be changed to
implement government policies more effectively; and
Advise on any matter referred to it by government, or from
any other appropriate source that may be concerned either
directly or indirectly with the implementation of government
policies.
