Dr. Lambert made an interesting statement that drug use should be seen as a mental health issue. I just came from a debate with the Minister about Keltoi. Dr. Lambert will be aware it is a residential dual diagnosis service that has been closed since 2020. I wanted to know whether there is money in budget 2025 to reopen it as a residential service. It does not look like that will happen in 2025. That is my reading of the Minister's response, between the jigs and reels. Will Dr. Lambert elaborate on the absolute need to have a safe residential place for people who have mental health and addiction issues?
