Lord McColl of Dulwich Excerpts
Baroness Penn (Con)
My Lords, the Government are committed to putting more funding into both the provision of more affordable housing and more social housing, which will help to address these issues.
Lord McColl of Dulwich (Con) [V]
The long-term use of cannabis and high-strength cannabis contribute a great deal to diseases of the mind and the brain. Have their effects been factored into social care and dementia strategies and the long-term NHS plans? Can the Minister elaborate on that?
Baroness Penn (Con)
My Lords, one challenge among drug treatment services is an ageing population for certain drug users. I will certainly take my noble friend’s point away and write to him with any further details.
