He made the comment at Solidarity House, Harmony Hall, St Michael, on Saturday, the United Nations Day Against Drug Abuse And Illicit Trafficking, under the theme Think Healthy, Not Drugs.
“We are adamant that a drug treatment court has to be something we look at with compassion and a sense of urgency,” he said. (CA)
