Health Minister hopes to make drug more accessible
A review is underway which could make a drug which reverses the effects of an opioid overdose more accessible.
Health minister David Ashford confirmed work is underway which would allow naloxone to be prescribed by any practitioner.
Since being introduced, 87 kits have been issued, with six being used.
Mr Ashford admitted not everyone who has been offered a kit has undergone training:
Island warned to expect heavy rain this afternoon
Yellow weather warning is now in force
Jurby landowner working with planning and Bus Vannin on future shelter provision
Resident's proposal to convert shelter into storage approved
'We wouldn’t have it any other way’
Support your child's dreams say biker mums
Ramsey Tesco to 'open as normal' following incident
Officers confirm 'all enquiries relating to the area are now complete'
