It is perhaps 5 per cent of the answer. What you can see in the Wesley rooms is not a dope den, but a cafe with a clinical edge. It seats 35 in plastic chairs that are specially designed to prevent anyone who has injected from slumping, and, as so often happens, choking to death. Only injecting users over 18 will be admitted. Ms Beckett and two nurses will provide supervision and counselling.
Users enter with their gear on a tray - syringe, tourniquet, swabs, cotton wool, water, and spoon.
Ms Beckett and her team will help users find a vein, but won't whack them up. Users will be encouraged to stay for 20 minutes to assess their condition. And we want to talk about how much to use, the danger in dropping, and health and accommodation issues. Security cameras will monitor the door and smoking area outside to prevent dealing. There's no such thing as safe injecting.
