Fewer secondary school children took illegal drugs in 2006 than in 2001 according to figures from health research agency The Information Centre. www.ic.nhs.uk.
The Transform blog is a little more wary of the figures:
If you run from 1998, like they did with all those other stats, the proportion of pupils who have used drugs in the last year has actually increased by 8%… What they have done is compare the 2005 figure to the highest recorded one in the set – blatant cherry picking and potentially very misleading.
