Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 October 2023
555. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Health whether she will consider reconvening the HSE Working Group on Residential Treatment and Rehabilitation (Substance Users) to identify bed capacity issues currently; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46379/23]
View answerIn 2006, the HSE appointed an expert working group to provide a detailed analysis and overview of known current residential treatment services and to advise on the future residential requirements of those affected by drug and alcohol use.
A copy of the working group's report is available at www.drugs.ie/resourcesfiles/reports/3966-42381118.pdf
As this question is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
