Benzodiazepines
EDM number 119 in 2002-03, proposed by John Grogan on 18/11/2002.
That this House congratulates the 'Beat the Benzos' campaign in highlighting the over-prescription of tranquilliser drugs known as benzodiazepines, including Ativan, Temazepam and Valium; supports their objective in bringing about the full implementation of prescription guidelines by general practitioners; calls on the Government to provide greater support services for involuntary and voluntary addicts of these drugs to integrate anti-benzodiazepine measures in anti-drug policies and to review disability benefit guidelines to ensure recognition of benzodiazepine addiction; and notes with great interest the recent court victory by Mr Ray Nimmo in which he successfully won compenstion for the past over-prescription of Valium by his then general practitioner.
This motion has been signed by a total of 195 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
