Involuntary Tranquilliser Addiction

EDM number 369 in 2006-07, proposed by Jim Dobbin on 30/11/2006.

That this House congratulates the `Beat the Benzos' campaign in highlighting the over-prescription of tranquilliser drugs including Ativan, Temazepam, Valium and the Z drugs; supports their objectives in bringing about the full implementation of prescription guidelines by general practitioners; and calls on the Government to provide greater support services for involuntary and voluntary addicts of these drugs and to conduct a review of disability guidelines to ensure recognition of tranquilliser addiction.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
