Joint Committee On Health

Addiction Services: Discussion

Ms Marian Sloan:

When it was moved over to social inclusion, that may have created something in terms of looking at it from a criminal justice perspective. When it was under mental health, it was considered an illness or disease. That is not healthy, but at least there was not the level of stigma attached to it that there is now.
