I blogged on opioid use in the US last year - with a Game of Thrones reference in the title for good measure!

The PPF may have just evolved from lifeboat to rescue helicopter! https://t.co/tj1gpXB8UD

[XPS Transactions @XPSTransactions]

#PPF reaches 121.6% funding level, up around 5% from last year. The lifeboat fund is even more buoyant than ever!
