I think this is a bit of a toughy to vote yes or no on. I think there should be other circumstances taken in to account at the time of assessing the drug addict before providing he/she with a regular fix. If that person does not have the money to feed their habit, then surely it is better that they are provided with that fix. At least this way they won't be out stealing in order to get their fix, after all alot of crime is drug related. I don't think giving drug addicts a regular fix by the NHS should be seen as a long term solution. There needs to be more help and understanding in order to deal with the problems that surround drug abuse. Supplying regular fixes to drug addicts over a long period of time is going to put even more pressure on the tight budgets of the NHS. (Perhaps we should consider cold turkey, or is this infringing on their human rights?)
