Joint Committee On Health

Impact of Covid-19 on Addiction Services: Discussion

Mr. Gerry Cooney:

It was mentioned earlier that timing is very important. There is a window of opportunity for young people in crisis and sometimes if the response is not there with the closure of services, there are opportunities being lost. We see that a great deal. When people come to us there is a window and if the response is not available it is a problem. It is a progressive problem because if a problem is serious, it is going to become more serious. It is not even going to maintain. That is a sad reflection on where we are.
