Equality and diversity are issues that should concern all of us working in the drugs sector. The wide range of communities on whom drugs have an impact mean that it is critical that drug services welcome everyone who needs them, regardless of ethnic group, age, gender, physical ability or sexuality, nor should we make value judgements based on how they earn their money.
