Dr. Diarmuid Quinlan:

I will be very brief. I absolutely get what my colleagues are saying about the detox. Equally, there is a much bigger piece about not initiating people on benzodiazepines in the community. That is a challenge in itself and one the Medical Council is addressing in conjunction with all the professional bodies. Again, we need a whole-system approach. It is not initiating people in benzos as much as possible and keeping the dose as low as possible for the shortest duration. We are very happy to work with our colleagues to try to address this problem.
