827. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Health the specific challenges facing community projects that the attention of his Department has been drawn to regarding places for residential addiction supports; the actions taken to alleviate them; and when access will be resumed. [7044/20]

Officials in the Department of Health have been working with Drug and Alcohol Task Forces and the HSE Social Inclusion Services to ensure that services and supports continue to be provided for those with  problem drug and alcohol use.

I have asked the HSE to investigate the issues raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
