Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Drugs Strategy: Minister of State at the Department of Health

Mr. Jim Walsh:

One of the things we want to do is better align community-based drug and alcohol services with the broader approach of community services as set out in Sláintecare. The new community health networks are a building block of that and that is why we want that new funding to be integrated into existing provision and building on existing community-based provision. That is the model Sláintecare has set out and the resource allocation model is also part of that. We are driving and promoting the Sláintecare agenda in the new €2 million community enhancement fund.
