Abstract
This paper will critically discuss policy drivers that have impacted the introduction of Safer Drug Consumption Facilities (SDCFs) (also known as overdose prevention centres) in Scotland, focusing on Glasgow as an example. This paper explores the history of SDCFs and the evidence concerning their effectiveness in various jurisdictions. Faced with the growing body of national and international evidence in support of their introduction and the reluctance and delay to introduce them in Scotland, we pose the question: "What may be the reasons behind the evidence policy/practice gap in Scotland, as far as SDCFs are concerned?" To answer this question, we utilise the theoretical framework of drug policy constellations (Stevens, 2024a), and specifically the dimension of power, to review the evidence and discuss the influence of power on the debate surrounding, and introduction of, SDCFs in Scotland. We highlight how forms of political and social power have impacted decision-making processes. The paper concludes with the suggestion that policymaking in the case of SDCFs is better understood through an exploration of different forms of power, rather than a more objective consideration of 'evidence'.
