Text
Establishing a Dedicated Treatment and Recovery Centre in the North West - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘Northern Ireland;' and insert:
‘recognises that areas with greater levels of deprivation, like some of those in the North West, have a disproportionate number of people exposed to adverse childhood experiences and that that is associated with higher rates of excessive alcohol consumption and drug use in adulthood; acknowledges the significant economic and social cost of untreated addiction, including its impact on healthcare, policing, and the economy; calls on the Minister of Health to prioritise the delivery of a fully funded, purpose-built addition treatment and recovery centre in the North West; and further calls on the Minister to work with Executive colleagues and counterparts in the Irish Government to integrate a harm reduction approach and addiction treatment into a wider trauma-informed regional strategy for mental health, housing, and employment support to ensure long-term recovery and rehabilitation.’
