Fund Medicinal Reviews for Patients Prescribed Highly Addictive Drugs

Closed 57 signatures

What the petition asks

We ask Government to fund medicinal reviews for patients prescribed addictive drugs, ensuring regular assessments, informed consent, and accountability. Reviews would explore alternative treatments and monitor patient well-being to prevent dependency and foster safer prescribing practices.
Unchecked prescriptions for addictive drugs may fuel a public health crisis. I believe that mandatory reviews would protect patients, reduce addiction cases, and show the Government’s commitment to safer, more responsible healthcare.
