Narcan is administered for overdose cases throughout the city. Nashua Fire Rescue alone
administered Narcan 169 times last year, and NFR administered14 doses of Narcan
during the first several weeks of 2016. AMR also is responding to overdose cases on a
regular basis - AMR responded to X OD’s in 2015.

The NH treatment system does not have enough capacity for the number of people who
need treatment.

There is a high demand for more beds for treatment in Nashua.

MAYOR’S REPORT ON OPIOID TASK FORCE MEETING OF JANUARY 21, 2016

It is imperative that we streamline and improve communication regarding our efforts to combat
the opioid epidemic plaguing our community.

In Nashua we are an important part of the state-wide effort to combat substance use. Going
forward, we must exhibit community leadership that sets a strong example for communities
across New Hampshire.

On January 21, 2016, I hosted a meeting of the Opioid Task Force which is committed to two
major goals:

The two union contracts that are on here; | would ask that the members on the Budget Review
Committee to review those and if you have any questions to please send them to me and I'll get the
answers from the school department and forward them on to all of the Aldermen. It would be real helpful
to have reviewed the two packages and have your questions answered beforehand so we can have a
shortened discussion when we discuss it at the Budget meeting.
