As the Deputy is aware, legislation on drugs is being taken in the Dáil today. The Minister of State, Deputy Catherine Byrne, is working on a new national drugs strategy that will ensure the kinds of treatment raised by the Deputy are available. There is also increased investment to ensure people can access treatment. I agree it is essential that people can access rehabilitation treatment quickly when they are in a position where they are willing to accept that. I will ask the Minister to link directly with the Deputy about the specifics.
