Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker.
Bling unlawful... Madam Deputy | 0:00:15 | 0:00:28 | |
Speaker one of my constituents
mentioned to me on Monday that | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
Glasgow Arty has consumption
facilities, it's close when it's | 0:00:32 | 0:00:42 | |
rained, filthy waste ground. Public
toilets, where struggling uses can't | 0:00:42 | 0:00:49 | |
modern dignity of privacy for as
long as it takes to inject. Far to | 0:00:49 | 0:00:57 | |
often drug users will die as a
result. As a society we must do | 0:00:57 | 0:01:02 | |
better and we can do much better
than that. There is that's a real | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
and consistent issue in Glasgow. So
any drug-related deaths, 67 were | 0:01:05 | 0:01:13 | |
registered in Scotland, and of those
so many in the city of Glasgow. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:21 | |
People with long-term drug abuse
problem. . He would need to have | 0:01:21 | 0:01:30 | |
them to engage in the health
services. This ageing population | 0:01:30 | 0:01:38 | |
started taking drugs in the 1980s,
and are and deteriorate | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
deteriorating health. This
population is complex, ... Hepatitis | 0:01:42 | 0:01:56 | |
C, liver disease, epilepsy,
embolism, spit -- skin infection, | 0:01:56 | 0:02:03 | |
depression or psychosis. This
population is vulnerable to | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
overdoses, the Scottish drugs for
him to a larger group of older | 0:02:07 | 0:02:13 | |
people with a drug problem. There
needs to be a recognition of this | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
House that afternoon it --
abstinence -based programmes will | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
not work for everyone. There needs
to be a programme for people have | 0:02:22 | 0:02:30 | |
not managed to kick the drug
addiction in a previous decades. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:36 | |
People using this facility is not in
treatment, and this facility will | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
help them door and get support to so
stabilise their lives. The report | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
reducing openers, published in
December 2016, the misuse of drugs | 0:02:45 | 0:02:52 | |
recommends that considerations be
given to each UK country by local | 0:02:52 | 0:02:59 | |
commissioners potential to reduce
deaths through the provision of | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
medically supervised clinics and
areas a high concentration of | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
injecting drug users. Furthermore,
they say that they have estimated to | 0:03:09 | 0:03:18 | |
save more money than the cost,
thanks to the reduction of deaths by | 0:03:18 | 0:03:27 | |
HIV, in addition to preventing AIDS
and deaths, more... No deaths from | 0:03:27 | 0:03:39 | |
overdoses have ever appeared in such
facilities. Nana facility, Glasgow | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
has a proposal. Drug laws are and
reserved for Westminster Scottish | 0:03:43 | 0:03:55 | |
Ministers have requested for the
proposal to go ahead. This has not | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
been granted. This proposal has
Rupert potential to reduce deaths | 0:03:58 | 0:04:04 | |
and reduce the harm. Not just a
shooting gallery as some have | 0:04:04 | 0:04:10 | |
suggested. Engagement with a
population that is not assisted very | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
well at all. Some may say that this
is not a necessary expense. I say is | 0:04:15 | 0:04:24 | |
that the opposite. For this in Casco
dosha in Glasgow there is a cost for | 0:04:24 | 0:04:34 | |
treating, there's a cause an
emergency, hospital admissions, | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
police dealing with complaints.
There is a significant case and | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
cleaning up discarded needles.
Residents affected by problem none | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
of their making. Some people are
paid to clean hundreds of yards of | 0:04:48 | 0:04:59 | |
areas with discarded needles.
Syringes. Of course there is | 0:04:59 | 0:05:06 | |
intangible costs in human lives. We
should consider all of these cost | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
that we are currently incurring the
situation the House no one. I would | 0:05:11 | 0:05:19 | |
like to touch on some limitations
up... The Glasgow proposal | 0:05:19 | 0:05:30 | |
treatment... Also capacity and cost
issues Glasgow city centres has | 0:05:30 | 0:05:39 | |
population of about 500 injecting
drug users. The partnership believes | 0:05:39 | 0:05:44 | |
that this only capacity for 50, 40
to 64 Herring injecting individuals. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:52 | |
Service crews required two sets of
licenses to operate. A premises | 0:05:52 | 0:05:59 | |
licence, for individual doctors to
get to the size. It's not a simple | 0:05:59 | 0:06:06 | |
process. Madam Deputy Speaker, to
operate back at facility en route it | 0:06:06 | 0:06:17 | |
requires the consent of the whole
office. Hence my belt -- Mike Bill | 0:06:17 | 0:06:24 | |
my bill. It is placed the Glasgow
health partnership. The support of | 0:06:24 | 0:06:36 | |
this build comes from a range of
parties. In a letter I wrote to the | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
Home Secretary, The Garnet and is
cross party spot across but... This | 0:06:41 | 0:07:01 | |
facility is very much a step in the
right direction Madam Deputy | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
Speaker. In my 11 years as it the
member in Glasgow the issue of drug | 0:07:04 | 0:07:11 | |
taking has been a constant issue. I
have seen people pushing people | 0:07:11 | 0:07:19 | |
around from benches... Have seen
residence at their wits end. Having | 0:07:19 | 0:07:28 | |
blood, excrement and syringes on
their doorsteps regularly, daily. I | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
have seen very vulnerable women and
men injecting in their growing in | 0:07:32 | 0:07:38 | |
public places because I know place
to go. And hard-working families or | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
have lost loved ones. If they had a
choice that would not have their | 0:07:43 | 0:07:49 | |
loved ones dying alone. They would
have them supervise the medical soup | 0:07:49 | 0:07:55 | |
-- facility. I cannot set that this
is the best we can do. It's | 0:07:55 | 0:08:03 | |
unacceptable. We must try something
different. I accepted and may not | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
work but we must at least try. Today
Madam Deputy Speaker, my question is | 0:08:08 | 0:08:15 | |
to the UK Government is this.
Glasgow has a plan that could reduce | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
harm to drug users and citizens.
Will Madam Deputy Speaker @ command | 0:08:19 | 0:08:29 | |
this bill to The question is can the
honourable member bring the... I | 0:08:29 | 0:08:40 | |
think the ayes have it. Who will
prepare and bring the Bill? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:56 | |
Supervised drug consumption facility
bill. Second reading what date, | 0:09:26 | 0:09:34 | |
Friday 22nd of April, thank you. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:45 |
