(i) methadone maintenance as a possible mass cure for

opiate addiction;

(j) the after-care arrangements necessary for each programme of treatment recommended and the length of after-care to be given with each programme.

The paper deliberately avoids making specific proposals about these points, in order to avoid the appearance of pre- empting ACAN. The recommendation is however made that a copy of the paper itself should be tabled at ACAN, Neither it nor the fourth paper is to be given any wider distribution or publicity: as was explained to Honourable Members in an earlier memorandum, the intention is to publish a White Paper, summarising the main points and recommendations in all the first five papers.

7

Honourable Members will be invited to advise whether the recommendations summarised in paragraphs 3 and 6 should be accepted.

(The Secretary for Security (Mr G. P. LLOYD) and the Commissioner for Narcotics (Mr N. G. ROLPH) will attend before the Council for the discussion of this item).
