MEDICINAL DRUG MIS-USE IN WOMEN'S PRISONS

EDM number 2 in 1998-99, proposed by Paul Flynn on 24/11/1998.

That this House is gravely concerned at evidence of the over-prescription of damaging and addictive medicinal drugs in women's prisons; is alarmed by the claims made by a distinguished author that neuroleptic drugs are routinely prescribed to young women prisoners who mutilate themselves and that medicinal drugs are used as a pacifier which moves prisoners from non-addictive illegal drugs use to highly addictive medicinal drugs use; is concerned that a delay in issuing drugs in a women's prison on 13th August led to rioting by prisoners who are permanently sedated; and calls for a full inquiry into all drug use in women's prisons.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
