Schottland. Glasgow drugs 'fix room' setback leads to call for urgent action
SCOTTISH drug charities are calling for urgent action to help those in need after a major legal setback to plans for the UK's first “fix room”.
Last week, Lord Advocate James Wolffe chose to decline to issue guidance on the legality of a drug consumption room.
The Glasgow facility, which would have been the first of its kind in the UK, would allow users a safe space to take drugs, reducing the risks of spreading disease through dirty needles and preventing overdose deaths. (The National, Schottland, 15.11.2017)
