‘Up to 25,000’ on drugs in N.Z.
PA Auckland Up to 25,000 New Zealanders are believed to inject drugs illegally. The estimate comes from the Health Depart-
ment’s A.I.D.S. task force and is based on the needle swap programme and the establishment of outreach centres, for intravenous drug users. A third basis for the
figure is an Australian study which estimated that more than 1 per cent of Australians had injected drugs at least once in the previous 12 months.
