UK's first Safer Drug Consumption Facility in Glasgow postpones opening due to building checks amid rising drug death crisis.
The opening of the UK's first Safer Drug Consumption Facility in Glasgow has been postponed beyond its original October 21 date due to necessary building checks. Located on Hunter Street, the facility aims to address Scotland's rising drug death crisis, which saw a 12% increase in 2023. It will allow supervised drug use to reduce overdoses and will undergo the NHS Assure process to ensure safety before opening.
