To ask the Scottish Government whether there is a transport service, including taxi provision, available to support individuals with addictions in travelling to and from the drug consumption facility in Glasgow, and, if so, how many individuals currently have access to or make use of this service.
The Scottish Government can confirm there is no transport service, including taxi provision, available to support individuals who use drugs, in travelling to and from the Glasgow Safer Drug Consumption Facility (The Thistle).
No provision has been made for funded transport as part of the current operating model. Consequently, there are no figures available on service users' access to transport service at the Thistle.
