A final point to note is that since Covid-19 started, we have lost 100 residential beds and 500 people are on the waiting list for those beds. That needs to be actioned. I know other Deputies and Senators want to come in and I will not take up their time, but addiction and recovery services have been among those worst affected by the Covid-19 crisis and the onus is on us, the Minister of State and the Department to act urgently.
