Needle and Syringe Programme Activity in Wales Annual Report 2025 to 2026 – Public Health Wales
Specialist Needle and Syringe Programme – Understanding change in specialist needle and syringe programme
Data from the Harm Reduction Database (HRD) has shown a significant decline in NSP activity across Wales over several years and this prompted a comprehensive review of contextual and social factors influencing NSP activity. This report is one of three and focuses on NSP provision from specialist sites provided by statutory organisations and third-sector services. This review covers themes and recommendations emerging from interviews with specialist NSP sites across Wales (including 104 staff members).
