Mobile injecting room backed
A MOBILE supervised injecting van should be considered for Melbourne due to the city's geographic spread of drug markets, experts say.
While admitting the issue is difficult politically, experts have renewed their push for supervised injecting rooms following a new report by the Burnet Institute detailing their success at reducing harm in Sydney and overseas.
And they say a mobile facility such as one that has operated in Barcelona could be a cost effective way to provide services in multiple locations where drug users gather including Footscray, St Kilda, Dandenong and Richmond.
The report was commissioned by the Yarra Drug and Health Forum after residents, replica vca bracelet particularly on public housing estates in Collingwood and Fitzroy, complained of drug users injecting on their doorstep and called for a system to get them off the streets.
Forum executive officer Joe Morris said: ''People who live on the estates continually say, 'Why doesn't the government provide an area for these people to go and inject?' It doesn't mean they support drug use in fact, some of them are very conservative in their views about what should happen to drug users but if it's going to happen and if these people are going to inject, then they want a place for them to go.''
Mr Morris said he was aware of Victorian MPs from both major parties who privately supported supervised injecting facilities.
''I'm very hopeful that they will come out, particularly after the election, and stand up for what they believe,'' he said.
Premier John Brumby said yesterday that the government did not support supervised injecting facilities: ''We looked at this issue in some depth some years ago but I think the evidence now suggests it fake van cleef and arpels bracelet alhambra is not the replica bracelet van cleef way to go, and we've got no plans to change our policy.''
A spokeswoman for Mr Brumby was unable to provide details on the evidence against supervised injecting rooms.
A Liberal Party spokesman said the opposition did not support them. The Greens continue their support for the facilities.
Professor Robert Power, of the Burnet Institute, said evidence showed injecting facilities improved public amenity by reducing crime, public injecting and discarded needles.
