Committee on Drugs Use
A Health-Led Approach: Discussion
9:30 am
Dr. David Joyce:
Yes. We are closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. Unfortunately, that is where we are at. We are making strong efforts to try to improve that. I am engaging with the Department of Health to try to improve our access to real-time testing so we have forewarning. To be prewarned is to be prepared. We want to get forewarning of what is present in our prisons.
