In October 2014, NNEF and Release have worked together to send ‘Freedom of Information’ requests to all 152 Directors of Public Health in England – asking them about their current needle exchange provision.
In June 2004 following reports from our members of faulty 1ml BD microfine we contacted the makers Becton Dickinson via their Sales and Marketing Director Michael McGowan to pass on our concerns. Below is a copy of the letter and Michael’s reply.
Here at the National Needle Exchange Forum (NNEF), we also moderate an open access
email discussion group to help connect our members and allies, and anyone interested in needle and syringe programmes in the UK. This is a Google group email list and we encourage anyone interested in getting more involved to join and connect with other likeminded colleagues.
