Does Ms Colloms believe the fund should only be directed at people with addiction problems or could it be used for other social projects? Potentially, the fund could yield a significant amount and if there was a surplus, it could be diverted to other social projects. For example, a percentage of the profit or turnover of some casinos in America is channelled into the community. Do any of the representatives consider this to be a possible use of the fund?
