New Items Added March 2001

• WOW!! What a busy start to the year we have had. Unfortunately, when we are extremely busy (and we have been), going to court, writing expert reports, finishing off our latest publication, then the website does not get updated on time.

• We were doing well last year, getting an update almost every month, but we will have some new info over the next few months, so keep checking back.

• This month a few pages have been made a bit more tidy and the solicitor finder is almost ready to update. Also to come in early April a list of all the Controlled Drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
