I seek a comment or a viewpoint from the witnesses on the proposition being given to members as public representatives that behind many of the issues of concern to the witnesses is the fact that people who are engaged in begging also have drug addiction and other problems. It is indicated or alleged to members, either anecdotally or factually, that there is an issue with methadone treatment centres for these people in or near the city centre. Is this the view of the witnesses? In addition, how would the witnesses deal with such an issue? What is their view on the location of treatment centres for people with such addictions?
