Needle and Syringe Exchange
The Needle and Syringe Exchange service (NSES) is commissioned by the Public Health Agency (PHA) and Health and Social Care Board (HSCB). It provides access to necessary equipment required for safer consumption for people who inject drugs (PWIDs) and enhances the safe disposal of used equipment in order to reduce the risk of transmission of blood borne viruses from contaminated material and drug-related litter.
