Committee on Drugs Use

Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation of Drugs: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Tom Murray:

We would be promoting a professional service that is patient-centred and patient care-centred. We would be providing the service of the training and supporting them through that so they could offer the service. We proactively promote that with members. I live in rural Donegal and the Deputy spoke about access to care. Sometimes it is not just whether the service exists in the county, but whether there is the infrastructure for people to get to that service.
