In line with the National Drugs Strategy, it is Government policy to expand the availability of, and access to, detoxification facilities and treatment services, in particular for those who are under 18 years of age.

As the information requested by the Deputy is not readily available to my Department, I have referred the Deputy's query to the HSE for direct reply. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
