In 2020, KTPH launched the Alcohol-Related Frequent Attenders (Arfa) programme. Over six months, the team met patients in their homes or their favourite haunts to bring counselling and basic medical care to them.

I am highly skeptical of this. Places like New York City and San Francisco have taken this same approach with heroin addicts, indeed, to an absurd extreme - providing them needles, housing and "safe spaces" where they can shoot up.

Its an utter failure that just creates more addiction, more crime, more deaths, more spending - and more bloated, politicized "woke" public employees

Yeah, no, try reading the article before typing with your elbows. You might actually need this ARFA treatment.
