It gets like that!!! Political bulls...Thanks Gleds.<br />It gets like that!!! Political bullshit.<br /><br />Hi Jay<br />Sorry about taking so long to reply. This was the first(and only) time I have heard about the public input too. The 440 patients you asked about are a mix of 2 different programs. Some are from the old days when diamorphine was prescribed for heroin addiction and some are leftovers from the latest heroin trials who were granted an extension because of special circumstances.<br /><br />Thanks Anon.<br />Yep , you are dead right. I have written about it several times.

In this country 440 selected addicts (and they're top secret ~ I haven't a clue how they got on these programmes) DO receive diamorphine for heroin addiction... But we've fewer legal hurdles, as diamorph is commonly carried in ambulances, used in hospitals, doctors carry it ... etc. So why the prissiness I've no idea. Also until very recently you could quite easily get injectable methadone from a private doctor ~ and seeing how much more toxic that is I really cannot comprehend why they don't ALL stop shillyshallying about and just fucking give neat heroin to EVERYONE who needs it.
