Ms Siobhán McArdle:

I agree with the Deputy about the tragedy of drug deaths. Everybody here agrees that any death is one death too many. A lot of the focus of our strategy and the work of all of our organisations is around harm reduction, and addressing and understanding the factors that relate to and underline those drug deaths is really important. It informs the Department of Health in an evidence-based way of the kinds of measures we need to put in place. Access to the range of supports including medication is important. Will Dr. Keenan speak about nurse prescribing?
