    "content": "perspective and we keep putting up centres. I, therefore, support this Motion that calls for many centres to be established. As we do that, the basic issue that we should look at is prevention. The value of prevention cannot be underestimated in this matter. I will give you a simple example that will show us how prevention is important. In 1982, this country had a measles outbreak. During that season, you would have as many as 200 children in one ward of 50 beds. Out of those who were affected, as many as five would die daily. When vaccination was introduced in the early 1970s, it became very effective. From 1984 to 2005, we did not have a single case of measles. That is how it works and that is how we should look at this issue. The Ministry of Interior and National Administration and NACADA must come up with programmes that will mainly address prevention as we expand to providing social rehabilitation that will reduce intoxication. With that, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support."
