Mr. Joe Slattery:

We did research last year. Quite a lot of it was to measure the complexities of the people who came in our door. They came in focusing on their loved one, but by the time they settled in and were going through the programme the focus becomes their own upbringing and stuff like that. There is a journey through the counselling. When we did the research, we went through the national drugs strategies looking for the definition of "complex needs" for families and there is none. There have never been any. We did our own research with an interagency group including participants and other services to come up with a layman's term for "complex needs" that should be put in the national drugs strategy. I have sent it to all of the members, and I would like them to review and consider putting it into this strategy.
