Schottland. Queen’s physician in Scotland, Roy Robertson, backs call for shooting galleries for drug addicts in Glasgow amid rise in HIV cases
The Queen’s physician in Scotland has accused the UK and Scottish governments of failing vulnerable drugs users and urged ministers to back shooting galleries allowing them to inject safely amid a rise in cases of HIV.
Roy Robertson, professor of addiction medicine at Edinburgh University and apothecary to the royal household in Scotland, said the Home Office decision to reject safe injecting rooms in Glasgow is indicative of a policy failure on a large scale.
