- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: I welcome our witnesses. I want to touch on stigma but before that I will go back to nurse prescribing. A lot of the discussion we are having today reminds me of when I followed the nurse prescribing journey in diabetes. It reminds me of that a lot, in that it is a lifestyle-based treatment and is very much about who you meet when you go into a clinic. At the front line that is often...

Neasa Hourigan: I presume we should have non-elective modules within training for all medical professionals. Would that be specifically on addiction or would it be more useful for it be about what trauma-centred care looks like?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: Would the other witnesses like to come in on addiction versus trauma led?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: The research suggests that when you are on the front line, those attitudes become more prevalent.
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: That would take care of all of our new cohort. There are hundreds of thousands of people working in services that are central or tangential to our health service. How do we hit all of them? Do we need to get everybody into a continuing professional development course on addiction and trauma-like care?

Neasa Hourigan: How far along are we on that journey?

Neasa Hourigan: Working in an emergency department is different from working in a laboratory.
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: I will return to the question of the inspection of services. I am a member of the Joint Committee on Health, where we talk a lot about the inspection side of things in the context of oversight, performance indicators and outcomes. Who would do that? Perhaps that is not fair. What kind of a body could the witnesses imagine undertaking that piece of work?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: Could Dr. Kelly give me an idea of the breadth and level of that service? Would it include all the third-party and NGO services?

- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: I have a question about data which struck me when talking about the prisons. I was reading something about it. Do we have the data about how many persons are eligible for OST or who would be appropriate for OST? Not somebody who has tried a drug once, but somebody who would benefit from OST. How many are actually in treatment? One statistic I read stated 35% of people who should be in...
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: Yes, of course. To be honest, my question was not just what the number is but whether we are recording the data. When I ask a question about health, I am often told it is not recorded. As a result, I was wondering whether we have a sense of the data.
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: Why is that?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: I welcome the witnesses. I congratulate Mr. Kelly on his new appointment. We might stick with that matter for a moment. I often ask a question about data and not just data but its relevance. As somebody knocking on doors at the moment, I do not disagree that people feel we need another 1,000 officers or so. I imagine we also need ICT resources. It is not just about data, which is a...
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: Mr. Kelly is describing highly specialised work. I imagine for practical reasons that much of that is centralised. What is the experience of the average garda dealing with it on the street? How does that work? Do they feed into those systems?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: Then, there is the more national service. Do I have time for one more question, Chair?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: I am trying to get a sense of what that international piece looks like in a practical way. Mr. Kelly spoke about linking up with international counterparts. When I did some reading for today, many of the stories that came up about Irish drug gangs were in The New York Times or on BBC News. We have graduated to a new era. How does that work? How often do they meet? What bodies does the...
