Background

We ask Government to fund medicinal reviews for patients prescribed addictive drugs, ensuring regular assessments, informed consent, and accountability. Reviews would explore alternative treatments and monitor patient well-being to prevent dependency and foster safer prescribing practices.

Additional details

Unchecked prescriptions for addictive drugs may fuel a public health crisis. I believe that mandatory reviews would protect patients, reduce addiction cases, and show the Government’s commitment to safer, more responsible healthcare.
