Each Local and Regional Drugs Task Force has an annual funding allocation from my Department for community-based initiatives, including education and prevention programmes to counteract problem drug use. The education programmes operated by the South West Regional Drugs Task Force do not include supports for individuals who wish to undertake addiction studies. I am also advised that the HSE does not provide a national bursary for addiction studies.
