Ther is a strong social and economic argument to intervene early and provide support and rehab services

Whilst upfront costs appear eye wateringly sharp the down steam impacts are far reaching in terms Of social family and economic cost

This applies largely across all facets of health and social care

I think about how tax payer monies spent rehabilitating and covering treatment costs for smokers

Same for alcohol abuse etc etc

Perhaps hearing some of the arguments above, there a case to increase nett welfare payments ?
