Committee on Drugs Use
Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation of Drugs: Discussion
9:30 am
Ms Niamh Eastwood:
Where we have drug dependency among more affluent communities, we are less likely to see them in community drug services because they have the resources to deal with that in a much more private way. They have the social and economic capital to manage it in a way that people from poorer communities do not.
