When we identify risk groups and, obviously, intravenous drug users are a high-risk group, how are we targeting those individuals? I presume it is through drug addiction centres but very few intravenous drug users will get to the stage where they are in addiction centres, and some will end up in prison. Therefore, there is a cohort of people who may not engage with services. Are we actively trying to target that group and, if so, how are we doing it and what methods are we using?
