The Investigation

Heroin on the NHS

Thursday 8 February 2007 20:00-20:30 (Radio 4 FM)

Simon Cox visits Ipswich, scene of the recent murders of five young women who were addicted to heroin or crack cocaine and who worked as street prostitutes to feed their habits. He asks whether some of these women might still be alive today if prescription heroin had been more widely available - or does heroin on the NHS risk destroying more lives?
