There are no plans to change the law on drug consumption rooms. Nevertheless, the UK Government continues to support a range of evidence-based approaches to reduce the health-related harms of drug misuse.

The UK Government will continue to work together with the Scottish Government to tackle the problem of drug misuse and drug-related harm, notwithstanding that funding decisions with regards to treatment and rehabilitation are entirely the decision of the Scottish Government.
