I want to return to the issue of debt and drug-related intimidation, but I will stick to the issue of accident and emergency services for the moment. Mention was made of the pilot project in Cork. I am very aware that we do tend to think of it as crisis moments when people go to accident and emergency departments, but, obviously, addiction damages one's health and there are many people who are on wards because they have addiction issues. It was stated earlier that accident and emergency departments are not a great place in that respect.

I ask Mr. Devine to elaborate on what he would like to see happen.
