Ms Caron McCaffrey:
I do not have the detail on that but I can confirm that the doctors and nurses within our system are very slow to prescribe some of the drugs to which the Deputy refers while people are in custody. That is because of the addictiveness of such substances. I apologise and I can come back to the Deputy on that specific issue-----
