Drug addicts are receiving courses of heroin costing £15,000 a year, whilst Alzheimer patients are being denied life-prolonging treatments. Medical staff are even injecting the drug into the arms of the addicts, many of whom are serial criminals. At present, £6million is spent on the 400 hardcore addicts. This would pay for treatment for almost 6,600 Alzheimer victims for a year. Worse still, the police have made the incredible demand that free heroin should be made available to all 200,000 addicts in the
UK. The bill for this would be £3billion. A senior officer said that it would be cheaper over time, because the average heroin addict commits around £45,000 worth of crime each year to finance their habit. Comments welcome.
