Committee on Drugs Use

Family and Community: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Paul Perth:

There are also huge levels of exclusion of people coming under the umbrella of neurodiversity when they are looking for some kind of treatment in terms of drugs service. This leads to anyone who may be presenting and saying they are bipolar or who might have some other underlying issue being excluded from a drugs service. We are finding that really difficult to link people in.
