I am this week involved in a hospital survey team in Portugal. My clinical colleagues are astonished to read in The BMJ that there has been a policy of decriminalisation here for 15 years and that this argument is being used to substantiate a case for changes in U.K. legislation. I note the article was not externally reviewed and ask where the validity of the claim can be confirmed.
