June 21 - Minister Sacramento Holds Rehabilitation Services Meetings In London
The Minister for Social Services, Samantha Sacramento, has returned from meetings in London in connection with the review of the substance abuse rehabilitation services provided by the Care Agency. The visit was aimed at obtaining information on the latest proven methods of good practice so as to introduce them locally under the current review of the service.
The Minister met with a provider of a wide range of community-based services for people suffering from drug or alcohol related problems, held meetings with its Chief Executive and management and was also invited to site meetings at outreach facilities where she was able to meet key members of staff.
A statement from the GSD reads:
The recent Open Day held by the Gibraltar Defence Police as part of the force’s 75th Anniversary celebrations was a great success and attracted a number of visitors to the Naval Base. During the day the GDP Community Team ran a children’s competition to colour and design a poster as part of their ‘Stranger Danger’ campaign.
Four Spanish nationals have today been sentenced to five and six years imprisonment in the Supreme Court.
