Fix rooms: 'People are going to misuse substances anyway'

"Fix rooms" for drug addicts would bring so many benefits it would be ridiculous not to have them in the UK, a homeless charity has said.

Lindsay Cordery-Bruce, chief executive of Welsh charity The Wallich, said supervising substance use at medical-grade facilities would cut drug deaths.

She said the biggest challenge was legislation and policy.

But others are concerned such facilities could entice addicts to continue using but Ms Cordery-Bruce said the facilities would help them to work with the problem.
