I propose to take Questions Nos. 680 and 681 together.
As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly as soon as possible.

An interactive map of publicly funded drug treatment and drug-related family support services, developed in partnership between the Department of Health and the Health Research Board, was launched in June.
This online tool marks the first time a visual database of services has been produced. It features 442 services in receipt of public funding, including services provided directly by the Health Service Executive (HSE) or community-based organisations and residential services funded via the HSE. The map is hosted by the Health Research Board and can be accessed at: www.drugsandalcohol.ie/services_map
The map provides easily navigable information on local services for people looking to access services to address their drug or alcohol use, and for families and concerned others who are struggling to deal with a loved one’s drug or alcohol use. The map complements existing resources such as the drug and alcohol helpline and the drugs.ie website.
As the issues raised in this question relating to funding are service matters, I have sent this PQ to the HSE for direct response.
