The HSE’s National Director for Primary Care Mr John Hennessy has said the Executive is fully committed to expanding the use of naloxone on the basis of a demonstration project, the results of which were recently published.
The Naloxone Demonstration Project was established in 2015 to test the feasibility of making naloxone, which is a semi-synthetic, competitive opioid antagonist medication, available for use by opioid users in order to prevent death from overdose.
Four locations were selected for the Demonstration Project — Dublin, Waterford/South East, Limerick and Cork.
