| Message | The SDLP believe that we are all entitled to life regardless of a citizens economic situation, Solentians should never have to be in a position where they cannot afford to stay alive. Whilst we do not support and certainly will never promote recreational drug use we do not believe it is the Governments role to control whatever substance a Solentian may put into their bodies. Te SDA will also continue to support the use of medicinal marijuana as a patient sedative. Regards, Carol Edwardes SDLP Health SPokesperson |
