I welcome the Minister of State's remarks on research. In this year alone, over 6,400 people are on methadone programmes. I am a great believer in methadone, but we do not know enough about the long-term effects of its use. Methadone is used to wean people off heroin. I have spoken to people who are taking methadone and can work 40 hours a week and are contributing to their communities. The task forces must be careful when replacing one drug with a legally prescribed alternative. We need more information on the number of people who use methadone to successfully wean themselves off heroin. There is a sub-culture which accepts the use of legally prescribed methadone as an intervention drug and another group which uses drugs illegally.
