Hon ANDREW LITTLE: More than 3,000 Northland people and their whānau have now been helped since the programme was first started. For every dollar spent on the programme, there has been a return of between $3 and $7 and a 34 percent reduction in drug-related crime. The Eastern Bay of Plenty region has been identified as a community experiencing a high level of drug-related harm. It has higher than average methamphetamine use and possession-related offences, waste-water testing results, and the proportion of people seeking help to get on top of drug addictions. This Government is committed to a health-based response for those who experience drug addiction, and making the benefits of Te Ara Oranga available in the Eastern Bay of Plenty is part of that.
