Deputy Chambers referred to the pilot scheme that is in place. A total of 80 people are on suboxone. It is intended to examine all avenues under the national drugs strategy in terms of education, recovery and the various issues involved. In the course of that process many of the issues raised in the committee, and in the Dáil and Seanad, will be examined. I intend to do that as part of the consultation process. I will then come back to the Members of both Houses with the results. The process will take time but it will be in the autumn.
