A North-South divide over the prescription of high dose opioids and other painkillers has been revealed by Sky News research.

The findings are being described as a "time bomb" of potential addiction problems.

In the North East, the amounts prescribed are three times more per head than in London, according to data collated from Open Prescribing.
