Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker.

Bling unlawful... Madam Deputy

0:00:150:00:28

Speaker one of my constituents

mentioned to me on Monday that

0:00:280:00:32

Glasgow Arty has consumption

facilities, it's close when it's

0:00:320:00:42

rained, filthy waste ground. Public

toilets, where struggling uses can't

0:00:420:00:49

modern dignity of privacy for as

long as it takes to inject. Far to

0:00:490:00:57

often drug users will die as a

result. As a society we must do

0:00:570:01:02

better and we can do much better

than that. There is that's a real

0:01:020:01:05

and consistent issue in Glasgow. So

any drug-related deaths, 67 were

0:01:050:01:13

registered in Scotland, and of those

so many in the city of Glasgow.

0:01:130:01:21

People with long-term drug abuse

problem. . He would need to have

0:01:210:01:30

them to engage in the health

services. This ageing population

0:01:300:01:38

started taking drugs in the 1980s,

and are and deteriorate

0:01:380:01:42

deteriorating health. This

population is complex, ... Hepatitis

0:01:420:01:56

C, liver disease, epilepsy,

embolism, spit -- skin infection,

0:01:560:02:03

depression or psychosis. This

population is vulnerable to

0:02:030:02:07

overdoses, the Scottish drugs for

him to a larger group of older

0:02:070:02:13

people with a drug problem. There

needs to be a recognition of this

0:02:130:02:18

House that afternoon it --

abstinence -based programmes will

0:02:180:02:22

not work for everyone. There needs

to be a programme for people have

0:02:220:02:30

not managed to kick the drug

addiction in a previous decades.

0:02:300:02:36

People using this facility is not in

treatment, and this facility will

0:02:360:02:40

help them door and get support to so

stabilise their lives. The report

0:02:400:02:45

reducing openers, published in

December 2016, the misuse of drugs

0:02:450:02:52

recommends that considerations be

given to each UK country by local

0:02:520:02:59

commissioners potential to reduce

deaths through the provision of

0:02:590:03:04

medically supervised clinics and

areas a high concentration of

0:03:040:03:09

injecting drug users. Furthermore,

they say that they have estimated to

0:03:090:03:18

save more money than the cost,

thanks to the reduction of deaths by

0:03:180:03:27

HIV, in addition to preventing AIDS

and deaths, more... No deaths from

0:03:270:03:39

overdoses have ever appeared in such

facilities. Nana facility, Glasgow

0:03:390:03:43

has a proposal. Drug laws are and

reserved for Westminster Scottish

0:03:430:03:55

Ministers have requested for the

proposal to go ahead. This has not

0:03:550:03:58

been granted. This proposal has

Rupert potential to reduce deaths

0:03:580:04:04

and reduce the harm. Not just a

shooting gallery as some have

0:04:040:04:10

suggested. Engagement with a

population that is not assisted very

0:04:100:04:15

well at all. Some may say that this

is not a necessary expense. I say is

0:04:150:04:24

that the opposite. For this in Casco

dosha in Glasgow there is a cost for

0:04:240:04:34

treating, there's a cause an

emergency, hospital admissions,

0:04:340:04:39

police dealing with complaints.

There is a significant case and

0:04:390:04:43

cleaning up discarded needles.

Residents affected by problem none

0:04:430:04:48

of their making. Some people are

paid to clean hundreds of yards of

0:04:480:04:59

areas with discarded needles.

Syringes. Of course there is

0:04:590:05:06

intangible costs in human lives. We

should consider all of these cost

0:05:060:05:11

that we are currently incurring the

situation the House no one. I would

0:05:110:05:19

like to touch on some limitations

up... The Glasgow proposal

0:05:190:05:30

treatment... Also capacity and cost

issues Glasgow city centres has

0:05:300:05:39

population of about 500 injecting

drug users. The partnership believes

0:05:390:05:44

that this only capacity for 50, 40

to 64 Herring injecting individuals.

0:05:440:05:52

Service crews required two sets of

licenses to operate. A premises

0:05:520:05:59

licence, for individual doctors to

get to the size. It's not a simple

0:05:590:06:06

process. Madam Deputy Speaker, to

operate back at facility en route it

0:06:060:06:17

requires the consent of the whole

office. Hence my belt -- Mike Bill

0:06:170:06:24

my bill. It is placed the Glasgow

health partnership. The support of

0:06:240:06:36

this build comes from a range of

parties. In a letter I wrote to the

0:06:360:06:41

Home Secretary, The Garnet and is

cross party spot across but... This

0:06:410:07:01

facility is very much a step in the

right direction Madam Deputy

0:07:010:07:04

Speaker. In my 11 years as it the

member in Glasgow the issue of drug

0:07:040:07:11

taking has been a constant issue. I

have seen people pushing people

0:07:110:07:19

around from benches... Have seen

residence at their wits end. Having

0:07:190:07:28

blood, excrement and syringes on

their doorsteps regularly, daily. I

0:07:280:07:32

have seen very vulnerable women and

men injecting in their growing in

0:07:320:07:38

public places because I know place

to go. And hard-working families or

0:07:380:07:43

have lost loved ones. If they had a

choice that would not have their

0:07:430:07:49

loved ones dying alone. They would

have them supervise the medical soup

0:07:490:07:55

-- facility. I cannot set that this

is the best we can do. It's

0:07:550:08:03

unacceptable. We must try something

different. I accepted and may not

0:08:030:08:08

work but we must at least try. Today

Madam Deputy Speaker, my question is

0:08:080:08:15

to the UK Government is this.

Glasgow has a plan that could reduce

0:08:150:08:19

harm to drug users and citizens.

Will Madam Deputy Speaker @ command

0:08:190:08:29

this bill to

The question is can the

honourable member bring the... I

0:08:290:08:40

think the ayes have it. Who will

prepare and bring the Bill?

0:08:400:08:56

Supervised drug consumption facility

bill.

Second reading what date,

0:09:260:09:34
