🚨 Drug-related deaths remain one of the most urgent public health challenges in Wales.

Every life lost is one too many. The time is now to act with compassion, courage, and evidence.

The time is now for EHRCs in Wales.

Global evidence shows that where such facilities are implemented, overdose deaths fall, emergency call-outs decline, and people get connected to support services.

EHRCs don’t encourage increased drug use — they reduce harm.

The time is now to implement Diamorphine Assisted Treatment (DAT) in Wales.

Evidence shows DAT reduces: illicit heroin use, acquisitive crime, high risk street injecting; while increases up-take and retention in treatment and stabilises lives.

DAT provides a second chance.
