Question:518. Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that local drugs task forces have unofficially been told to expect a cut in the order of 7% to their funding in 2014; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that in Blanchardstown, this would mean a reduction in methadone detox beds in Coolmine treatment centre of 16 for 2014, or a reduction of 12 places on Coolmine’s residential rehabilitation programme; his views on whether this will impact on the Government's goal of 100% of problem drug users accessing treatment within one month as itemised in the key performance indicators of the National Drugs Strategy 2008-2016; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
