Résumé :
This paper considers a number of legal issues that are likely to arise in practice were premises to be established in England and Wales that enable persons to self-administer illicitly obtained heroin on site under medical supervision. Such premises exist elsewhere and they are variously styled 'drug consumption rooms', 'drug injection rooms', 'safe injecting centres', and 'safe injecting facilities'. For convenience, this paper will refer to these facilities as 'drug consumption rooms' (DCRs).
This paper is not concerned with 'shooting galleries' where users pay to inject on site. Such premises are unsanctioned by government (probably operating illegally), and medical supervision is slight to nonexistent. [Extract]
