Covid-19 (Drug and Alcohol Services, and Homelessness): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-02-18
============================================================

Frankie Feighan (FG), Sligo-Leitrim

Since the onset of Covid-19, 900 additional people have been seen by the opioid substitution treatment programme. They are being retained as part of the existing service level. Some €4.2 million has been provided for the service's continuation in 2021.
I have met all of the drugs and alcohol task forces and we are allocating funding. However, there are many initiatives, for example, Know the Score in respect of young children, and I hope to work with them.
