To ask the Scottish Executive whether any “safe injecting rooms” exist for intravenous drug users and what plans it has to expand or provide this service.
Answer
We are not aware of anysupervised injecting rooms in Scotland, and we have no plans to support such facilities.
Although injecting rooms areavailable in some other countries, current evaluation evidence is notparticularly robust. Before such facilities could be contemplated for Scotland,complex issues of legality, safety and security of staff and clients, andcommunity reactions would have to be addressed.
