Director says charity is trusted and confidential
The director of a drugs, alcohol and gambling support service says it is a trusted and confidential service.
North Douglas MHK John Houghton has criticised the closure of the charity DASH - the Drug and Alcohol Advisory Service - and claims that Motiv8 doesn't offer a confidential service or focus attention on problems experienced by children.
However, Thea Ozenturk says this just isn't the case and Mr Houghton has his facts wrong:

Department brands loss of Greeba tree 'regrettable'
Inmates stage prison protest over time spent in cells
Local clothing retailers rated poorly in new survey
'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
