[Margaret Pilkington]

Isn't it amazing that we can consider giving these people their fix for Free when we can't give the Alzheimers sufferers their drugs which cost £2.50 per day....we can't provide the folk suffering from bowel and bone cancer the drugs that would make their existence more bearable, and probably lengthen their lives too. Somewhere along the way we have got very mixed up in what is right and moral and what is wrong.

The drug addicts are suffering a plight of their own making. Some medical consultants won't treat smokers unless they quit, some surgeons will not treat obese people unless they lose weight...both groups of people are seen to be contributors to their own ill health......why should drug addicts be any different.
