West Midlands junkies to be given free HEROIN on the NHS
Junkies will be given free heroin on the NHS under radical plans unveiled by the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner
David Jamieson says the move which has been backed by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) will take the drugs market away from criminal gangs.
He admitted today: Our approach to drugs is failing.
The measure would give doctors the power to prescribe junkies who have failed to respond to other treatment, in a bid to stop them from stealing to fund their addiction.
It forms part of a range of recommendations Mr Jamieson describes as 'common sense proposals' brought in to 'tackle the scourge of drugs head on'.
They include Drug Consumption Rooms set up across the region where addicts can inject heroin using clean needles and have access to medical support

I get they're trying to cut crime but the NHS is stretched enough and people who genuinely need help are suffering. I dont know the solution. It genuinely annoys me. * +
