Committee on Drugs Use

Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation of Drugs: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Dr. Des Crowley:

It is about increasing the skillset of the GP so that involves training. It involves resourcing the GP practice to have the time to do the work. The final bit is the referral pathway to other support services like talking therapies, psychosocial case workers and key workers dealing with all of the other aspects that are connected to the addiction. It is comprehensive, holistic and patient-centred.
