Covid-19 (Drug and Alcohol Services, and Homelessness): Statements
11:10 am
Frank Feighan (Sligo-Leitrim, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
On the 24-7 drugs line, there is a drugs helpline in the UK that we have been trying to mirror. It is called Talk to Frank but it will not be called that here. There is a budget allocation of €170,000 for the service and the recruitment of three addiction counsellors is under way. It will not be 24 hour but it will be expanded to what we think will be needed, based on advice from stakeholders.
On the issue of the young lady, I ask the Deputy to give me the information and we will try to determine how best to address that.
