Deaths From Methadone Abuse (EDM2132)

Deaths From Methadone Abuse

EDM number 2132 in 2010-12, proposed by Ian Mearns on 05/09/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Drugs misuse.

That this House deeply regrets the loss of four young lives to methadone abuse in recent months in Gateshead; notes that this has occurred thanks to a loophole identified by the police which allows registered users who don't take the drug at the point of prescription to sell on some of their prescribed dose; supports calls by senior police officers for methadone to be dispensed and taken under supervision in the pharmacy; and urges the Health Minister to take action as a matter of urgency.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
