Vol. 559 No. 2

Written Answers. - Drug Treatment Services.

Joe Costello

Question:

156 Mr. Costello asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of drug addicts under 21 years of age who are on a methadone maintenance programme; the number over 21 years of age who are on similar programmes; the gender breakdown in each category; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26034/02]

Statistics by age and gender, of people registered on the methadone treatment list are not routinely collected by my Department. My Department has therefore asked the regional chief executive of the Eastern Regional Health Authority to respond directly to the Deputy on this question.
