I am talking more about the Department of Health. I would imagine the Department of Health would be first for help and that it would see that arrest under the criminal justice system is not a health response, even if a health diversion has been offered once or twice, because addiction obviously is complex. From a health-led perspective, how is criminal justice, even factored into a health Department response, an evidence-based health initiative?
