The Minister will be aware that more than 10,000 people are currently on methadone treatment, many of them for extended periods. Will the Minister advise the House when methadone treatment protocols were last reviewed, especially for individuals who have been on methadone treatment for a long time? What are their care and progression plans? How frequently are individuals offered those care and progression plans in light of the fact that many of them have been in receipt of methadone treatment for a good number of years?
