Question 20456 — drugs

Summary

Mrs. Valérie Boyer draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the opening of a lower-risk drug consumption room (SCMR) in Marseille. After Paris and Strasbourg, we learned from the press that a lower risk drug consumption room (SCMR) should open in Marseille in 2020. The purpose of this room is to welcome the most precarious drug addicts, in particular those who live on the streets and the surrounding car parks, to prevent them from giving themselves their injections in public spaces, in deplorable sanitary conditions. However, certain testimonies are circulating in the media. In certain cities, local residents, rightly or wrongly, speak of insecurity and delinquency which is only increasing. It seems that the future Marseille SCMR will be set up in the premises of the Conception hospital. This hospital 862 beds, with 3,142 people working there (medical and non-medical staff) is now very busy, particularly by pregnant women. In this context, particularly with already overwhelmed staff facing increasing insecurity, the MP wishes to know the measures that will be taken to guarantee the security of the hospital establishment and its surroundings. Unfortunately, without consultation with local residents and without prior information, it is normal that today the people of Marseillais express their concerns about this project. She wants to know if local information meetings will be organized to answer their questions. Finally, according to a report from the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) these centers “have demonstrated their ability to ensure stable operation, guaranteeing good health and safety conditions for users and staff. The MP understands the arguments about health and public order but she considers that all the concessions that are made to the development of drugs are concessions whose consequences are disastrous. She asks him for his opinion on the subject.
