Ms Colette Kelleher:

That is a good source of data and the Health Research Board is a great repository for information, as are the reports that were released this week, but questions continue to arise because we are talking about human beings. While we have tried and tested programmes such as the 12-step programme, which works very well, we are now enriching that with trauma-informed processes. We are constantly evolving. Human beings do not stay put and neither does the sum of knowledge. We are constantly evolving in how we respond to individuals and our integrated programme is an example of that. It is quite innovative, lasting 12 weeks, and it involves a very different profile from that which we might have worked with previously. There are now greater complexities. I would say every human being is complex, but we need to address people holistically, as our colleagues in the Family Addiction Support Network talked about. There is greater scope for more research and more research funding, and we would be grateful for anything the committee could do to support that.
