Drug users can take illegal drugs such as heroin and cocaine under medical supervision at The Thistle Centre.
It will take several years for the full health impact of the UK’s first safer drugs consumption room in Glasgow to be understood, MPs have been told.
Glasgow University Professor Vittal Katikireddi told MPs the level of use and the kind of people using the room can be measured “fairly quickly”. He said similar schemes around the world had tended to see improvements in anti-social behaviour in local communities. Dorothy Bain KC made clear in 2023 that prosecuting the users of such a facility for simple drugs possession charges would “not be in the public interest”, but stressed it is not her role to “sign off” on the centre.
