The revised narcotic list will take effect after he endorses it. Mr Anutin said the Public Health Ministry has done its part and the revised list is in accordance with the new Narcotics Code which took effect in December last year. The party has been criticised for failing to live up to its promise despite overseeing the Public Health Ministry for three years.
