So are they proposing a limitless supply?
I have more sympathy for the idea of methadone for those who are trying to get off the drugs than heroine to keep addicts in the manner to which they have become accustomed. It just seems morally wrong to offer a limitless supply of free drugs to addicts when cancer patients are dying because the NHS can't afford to treat them.
I lost a close family member because of financial lmitations in the NHS and my Dad had to pay all his life for medication just to keep him alive each day so he could go to work and pay more taxes and NI contributions, so it feels like adding insult to injury to be giving freebies to drug addicts. So much easier then to become an addict if you're not going to have to worry about how to afford the drugs. |
