Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
1785. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Health the amount a 5%, 10%, 20% and 30% increase in funding for each of the DATFs would amount to based on current funding in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34853/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraDrug and alcohol task forces play a key role in assessing the extent and nature of the drug problem and in initiating appropriate responses, so that there is a coordinated approach involving all sectors to the problem of substance misuse in local communities. In excess of €27.6 million has been allocated by the Department of Health to task forces in 2018 for community-based drugs initiatives. This level of funding is consistent with the amounts provided for the last four years.
A Table setting out a 5%,10%, 20% and 30% increase in funding for each task force follows, differentiated between direct Department of Health funding and funding provided via the HSE.
An additional €250,000 was provided in Budget 2018 to improve the organisational effectiveness of the task forces in implementing the national drugs strategy. Individual task forces can receive up to €10,000 in additional funding. Payment of this funding is currently being processed by my Department and the HSE.
I recently announced a further €290,000 for task forces to support and enhance services addressing drug and alcohol misuse. This money will be allocated in quarter four of 2018. In addition, task forces will be consulted by the HSE on the provision of €710,000 for priority projects and services in CHO areas.
I strongly believe that resources should be directed towards interventions that are most effective in reducing problem substance use. Measuring the effectiveness of responses to the drug problem is therefore an important objective of public policy. Towards this end, my Department will develop a performance measurement system by 2020 which will improve accountability across all sectors, including the task forces.
