APPGITA - Action Platform for Patients' Group on
Involuntary Tranquilliser Addiction


APPGITA WEB SITE


The late Jim Dobbin MP was first elected to the House of Common in 1997 for Heywood and Middleton. He worked as a microbiologist within the NHS for 33 years. Jim worked tirelessly as Chair of an All Party Group on the issue of involuntary tranquilliser addiction and will be sadly missed by campaigners. The Action Platform for Patients’ Group on Involuntary Tranquilliser Addiction evolved as a campaigning group for patients' rights on this issue.
