Where are we in england now, John Jolly

1. 32% increase in
heroin/morphine
related deaths
765 deaths
in 2013

2. People are dying because of ;
1.a lack of harm reduction
2.A lack of focus on Harm Reduction
3.lack of access to naloxone
4.Possibly because they are being discharged too
early

3. 1. Naloxone should be made more widely
available, to tackle the high numbers of fatal
opioid overdoses in the UK.
2. Government should ease the restrictions on
who can be supplied with naloxone
3. Government should investigate how people
supplied with naloxone can be suitably trained
to administer it in an emergency and respond
to overdoses

4. Perhaps we should
conclude that
English heroin
users lives are
worth less than the
Welsh and Scottish
ones

5. 32% increase in
heroin/morphine
related deaths
765 deaths
Many of these fatalities
could have been
prevented by the use of
naloxone as an
intervention.

6.  In July 2014 Jane Ellison Parliamentary Under
Secretary of State for Public Health wrote to
confirm that Government would act on the
ACMD recommendations by October 2015 in
England.
 post election long grass
 no suggestion of a National Programme similar
to Scotland or Wales.

7.  And Its OUTRAGIOUS
Was speaking to PHE last week and again it is
clear no plan, no data, and concern about
asking how much naloxone is being prescribed
as unclear whether PHE rather than NHS
should be picking up cost. (The boat that does
not want to rock)

8.  And Its OUTRAGIOUS
Was speaking to PHE London last week and
again clear no plan, no data, and concern about
asking how much naloxone is being prescribed
as unclear whether PHE rather than NHS
should be picking up cost. (The boat that does
not want to rock)

Birmingham
