dc.description.abstractThe meeting today grows out of a study conducted jointly by the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health and the Australian Institute of Criminology in the early part of this year. That study was prompted by an invitation from the Chairman of the ACT Legislative Assembly’s Select Committee on HIV, Illegal Drugs and Prostitution - Mr Michael Moore - who invited us to examine the feasibility of a trial of the controlled availability of opioids in the ACT. Dr Gabriele Bammer, who directed that investigation, will be setting the scene for us by describing its conclusions at the outset of the day’s discussions. We hope that from that baseline we can move forward in the course of the day to explore the implications of those conclusions and to discuss whether or not it is appropriate to extend the feasibility study to the next stage. So our objective today is to explore the medical, health, social and law enforcement implications of evaluating, in the ACT, new approaches to the treatment of heroin dependent individuals. Drug policy is a highly political issue, any action to change the way we manage drug dependent people in the ACT has political implications for the ACT and for other parts of Australia as well. So I am delighted that we have representatives from drug and law enforcement agencies from most states of Australia here today and that many of the people who will frame attitudes to the proposed ACT trial will have an opportunity to discuss these issues in an open and uninhibited way.en_AU
