I AGREE with Ray Devonport’s letter about free NHS “shooting galleries” for drug addicts and the difficulty some sufferers, such as his late wife, face in obtaining cancer drugs (HAS, Oct 8). The muddled thinking of those in government beggars belief. The sad fact today is that right is wrong and wrong is right and the law is on the side of the wrongdoers.
