MINISTER FOR HEALTH

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO. 1124

Methadone Program

Mrs Carnell - asked the Minister for Health:

How many persons registered in the A.C.T.s methadone program have transferred or been transferred from the comprehensive program to the low intervention program since the changes to the methadone payments policy in August 1993?

Mr Berry - the answer to Mrs Carnells question is:

Since August 1993, three clients have moved permanently from the comprehensive program to the low intervention program and six have moved temporarily. These latter six have since commenced payment for methadone and have returned to the comprehensive program.

A further five people on the comprehensive program occasionally miss out on take away doses when they do not make payment.
