Following the implementation of the Harm Reduction Information System for Northern Ireland, Neo360 in December 2022 PHA publishes quarterly activity reports on harm reduction services. 

This charter sets out what clients can expect from the needle exchange service, and the role they can play in making sure everyone who uses or works in a needle exchange has a positive experience.

The Needle and Syringe Exchange Service is a free, confidential service for people who inject drugs. It is designed to reduce the spread of blood borne viruses by providing free, sterile injecting equipment and by disposing of used equipment safely. The leaflet explains how the scheme works and provides contact details for all the participating pharmacies, and the local outreach teams.
