(d) Did any of these round tables consider the information contained in the Department's 2024-25 Annual Report that smoking had increased for the first time in 30 years;
(e) If so, which round table and what were the actions as a result of this consideration;
(f) If not, why not; and
(g) Will the increases in smoking, illicit drug use and alcohol consumption be the subject of roundtables in 2026-27, if so which ones?
