It's a very big if..........after all, addicts do sell even small amounts of
methadone if something better i.e. heroin is about. And I believe that some
of them even shoplift or steal stereos from cars to fund their habit. Are
Brewer et al really prescribing so recklessly that they should be struck
off?

I agree with most of your sentiments Roger, but as I understand the
situation
with Brewer et al, they have been taken to the GMC because of persistent
extreme excessive prescribing - Allegedly they give enough so that their
fees can be met out the sale of the xs drugs they have prescribed.
If that is true, then I find that hard to condone.
