Glasgow bids to run drug-checking service at Hunter Street

An application to run a drug-checking pilot in Glasgow has been submitted to the UK Government Home Office.

Drug checking services enable people who use drugs to have their drugs chemically analysed and receive information on the content of submitted samples. Services are both confidential and anonymous. In addition to providing information about what is in a drug sample, trained staff can offer harm reduction advice and support, brief interventions and access to treatment services.
