Mark Ward: Not once or twice weekly, however. There is no benefit there.
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: I thank our witnesses for their opening statements. It was very interesting to listen to them.

John Brady: The funding that was requested was not forthcoming for the year. It was suggested a draft letter was to be circulated.
