Sent on behalf of Heather Mabin, Acting CE

Good afternoon Lynn

In response to your LGOIMA request please be advised that currently the West Coast Regional Council does not carry out Drug and Alcohol testing. Due to not carrying out Drug & Alcohol testing we therefore cannot answer all the questions listed below.

However, this matter is on our radar. Discussions have been held and quotes have been provided earlier in the year in regard to drug and alcohol testing, which includes pre-employment.

Thank you.

Trish
