Psychoactive substances – draft Local Approved Product Policy
|
|
|
Resolution number WHK/2014/221
MOVED
by Member JP Meeuwsen, seconded by Member RE Ballard:
That the Waiheke
Local Board:
a)
Requests that the sale of
psychoactive be restricted across all of Waiheke Island for the following
reasons:
i.
The island’s community
has a proportionally high rate of mental health issues including the high per
capita rate of suicide;
ii.
Waiheke has no overnight
emergency care facilities and after hours emergency hospital situations rely
on police vessel or helicopter transfer;
iii.
Waiheke relies on
supplementation from off-island of emergency services, police and ambulance
staff during busy periods;
iv.
Due to the physical
boundaries of the island, it is difficult for those vulnerable in our
community to avoid impacts of and contact with psychoactive substances and or
persons under the influence thereof; and
v.
The Department of Health
deprivation maps use an Island mean figure of 6 on the index of deprivation.
However when broken down to mesh block level, the island has pockets of
deprivation rated up to level 9.
