    The hospital testing for illicit drugs is not representative of the wider community at all.


    Some of those tests would have been from people admitted to hospital because of illicit drug problems and often on a regular basis.

    What about patients who receive legal opiates such as morphine bases pain killers do they show up as illicit drugs, Ill bet they do.

    My last visit to hospital and I was given Fentenol for the general, oxy codone after the operation for pain, an oxy codone patch and steroids.

    Im not a regular visitor to hospital and do not take illicit drugs or indeed legal drugs for that matter.


    The hospitals are full of people taking legal drugs which are often similar to illicit drugs.
