I will finish with a question I would like one of our guests to answer briefly. One of the biggest challenges for us as a society, and it is a major challenge, is drugs and substance misuse. I do not think we take it seriously enough from every side, whether it be justice or education on the effects it can have on mental health and mental illness. Do the witnesses see that as an increasing challenge or have they heard about it from third level colleges?
