Their HIV cases have plummeted...who knew! I asked about the small things that they had learned... so people injecting cocaine often rake in bins for around 20 minutes after taking drugs - they had to make sure people could rake in medical waste..

It's just a thing that they do....they also are super sensitive to sound, chairs dragging over stone floors would set people off, and so linoleum and chairs with stoppers on the bottom reduce the noise and so flashpoints are removed.

The amazing Peter who took me round said they have only refused 3 people in all the time he has been there. He said that all sides of the political divide had come around to the idea of DCR - it worked morally, medically and financially.

It took around 2 years for the DCR to really get to full operating capacity and be trusted by those who used it. It needs to be dispersed across a city and not centralised - of course. The DCR's are in areas that are gentrified, they do not hide them away...and why should they.

Peter said to me...'everyone in here has had a life of trauma, sexual abuse and neglect....the people who will use us in 15 years time are sitting in our schools.' As an ex nurse and someone who has worked with so many people in addiction I admit I found it overwhelming tonight

Done well, delivered compassionately and thoughtfully, it is a thing to behold. There was a church across the road from the DCR, in truth, the service that I saw tonight provided sanctuary and peace too.

It isn't easy, certainly, but what else is there in the face of all the deaths in Scotland. It's not the single solution, of course not, but we should try to speak the uncomfortable truths among friends about what's happening to our fellow human beings who've no-one to help them.

Comrade McBot FIONA, Extremist (vintage 1957) I think there is much to learn for all of us. Whilst we have a terrible situation just now, i know colleagues across the UK are also struggling. we have much to learn and i think we should not be afraid to try and evaluate what we do to improve outcomes..what do you think?
