I value the Deputy's insights in that regard and I take her point about funding. We are doing everything we can to ensure there is adequate funding across the board, both through the HSE addiction services and also in the form of the funds for which I, as Minister of State, have responsibility.

I agree with the Deputy's point regarding the interaction between mental health services and drug treatment services. We will have an opportunity to address those issues early in the new year.
