Plans to roll out a drug consumption room in Edinburgh are to be investigated by the council amid calls for more action to tackle overdose deaths.
Edinburgh City councillors backed a proposal for officials to investigate the feasibility of trialling an Overdose Prevention Centre (OPC), also known as a 'fix room', in the capital.
In addition, a report is to be drafted looking into increasing training for bar and nightclub staff working across the city on administering a life-saving 'overdose reversal' medicine known as Naloxone.
