Most of the questions I want to raise have been asked. We campaigned very strongly for people to stop or not to start smoking. Are we doing enough to deal with the addictive nature of cigarettes and on how to help people to kick the habit? Alcoholics Anonymous deals with the problem of alcohol addiction, but I question whether the HSE is doing enough to help people to deal with their addiction. There is a sense that we are abandoning people who are severely addicted because nothing can be done.

As I must be elsewhere at 11.30 a.m., I will read the answers later.
