This programme was from 2017 to 2020. We are now at the start of 2022. Some pregnant women, who are some of the most vulnerable people, are in throes of addiction and we have got nothing. It is shocking. I think the Minister of State needs to step in now. These are people who need support.

It is unbelievable that out of 50 actions, it is not even included in the response and there are four others. It is not good enough. Something needs to be done and I also want to find out about the north inner city.
