These tablets became out ofstock nation wide with supplies becoming low in the Northern Territory in late December2009/early January 2010.On the recommendation of CLAC, methadone liquid’s status as a restricted S8 substancewas revoked, until such time as methadone tablets were again available. This enabledmethadone liquid to be more accessible to patients who had a legitimate need for its use aspart of their pain management and where alternate medications was not clinically indicatedor in the patient’s best interest.In late January 2010, upon advice that methadone tablet availability was returning to normalwith no future supply issues anticipated in the Northern Territory, methadone liquid wasagain declared a restricted S8 substance, taking effect on 1 February 2010.Radiation ProtectionThe Radiation Protection Act commenced on 5 October 2009.
