CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:46): Arising out of the answer and the minister's reference to alternative suitably qualified persons, can she advise the council of how many medical practitioners are, in fact, authorised under section 55 to prescribe or supply drugs of dependence?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister Assisting the Minister for Health) (14:47): I will need to take that question on notice and bring back a response. I do not have the actual number with me at present.
