The Department of Health allocated funding of almost €100m to the HSE for addiction services in 2019 in line with their 2019 Service Plan. The HSE National Service Plan 2018 sets out the type and volume of health and social care services to be provided by the Health Service Executive in 2019, having regard to the funding allocated. In addition, the Department provided €28m to Drug and Alcohol Task Forces through various channels of funding, including the HSE.

The attached table outlines the allocations and expenditure for the drug programmes directly funded by the Department of Health for the period 2014 to 2018.

I am committed to providing additional resources to enhance service provision under the national drugs strategy. These resources should be directed towards those interventions which are most likely to lead to a reduction in problem substance use and positive improvement in public health, safety and wellbeing.

As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
