Inside the injecting room, clients sit at a small booth. At a distance it looks like they're sitting an exam, but the clients here are readying themselves for a drug hit. Ms Hiley explains this is because heroin is no longer enjoyable for many of the users here, but its addictive nature keeps them hooked.Ms Hiley says that the injecting centre is a community – staff know and care for many of the users.
Ms Neven explains that her major concern is that the injecting centre is next to a local primary school and drug users loiter around the nearby park.
