Dr. Eamon Keenan:
The HSE is now recognised as an organisation that can do the training. It can then apply to the HPRA to get naloxone onto its premises. That is where we have been working with the private emergency accommodation providers the hostels and so on. For example, Simon and other organisations are trained under the HSE naloxone programme and they can then get a licence from the HPRA to hold it.
