I've just voted.
Am I in favour of a centre? The simple answer is no, on the basis that clinical solutions should be evidence based. When I last looked, there appeared to be more cost effective ways to drug and alcohol treatment than these rather expensive centres. However, there are exceptions and much rests upon a number of variables, one of which is the high levels of ongoing funding which is neccessary ( Large capital sums are spent on the bricks and mortar only for subsequent annual clinical and other staff funding to be reduced).
My real concern with this - the info I have gained from the online Telegraph on Sunday - was the way those attending the meeting on thursday evening appeared more than ready to offload the facility on to Blackburn Road, which even if you do accept the outline cinical case, is obviously the wrong place to be.
