There was a sort of general feeling amongst doctors that if you were interviewed by one inspector, you were OK but if two of us turned up you were in trouble. And I think that a number of doctors who were then treating addicts [in the mid-1980s] were sort of advised if they carried on like this they could end up in tribunal and a number of them bailed out from treating addicts, a lot of private doctors said 'I don't need this aggro'
