Question:
To ask the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety to detail the departmental services, provided through statutory and non-statutory bodies, to address the needs of alcohol and drug dependents in East Londonderry.

Answer:

Through my Department’s New Strategic Direction for Alcohol and Drugs Phase Two, the Health & Social Care Board and the Public Health Agency commission a full range of alcohol and drug services – from education and prevention through to treatment and support – that are provided across the Northern and Western Health and Social Care Trust areas, both by Statutory and Voluntary/Community sectors.

Details of the full range of alcohol and drug services, for both young people and adults, in both the Northern and Western areas can be found by accessing the following links:
