Committee on Drugs Use

A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Maeve Foley:

The Deputy is right that it would be in and around 30 per year. Today there are 28 within the programme with seven in an assessment stage. There are 23 in bronze, silver or gold right now. With the eligibility criteria, that might be something that is brought up in the review as a step that might go to increasing referral rates to the court.
