I was listening to the radio this morning and there was a report about the launch of a document from Merchants Quay Ireland. That organisation is saying if it doubled the number of beds it has available for people going into rehabilitation, it would still not be enough. Is it difficult now to refer the people and patients who enter the services provided by the witnesses into drug rehabilitation places? What happens in that gap if people are not getting the service they need?
