Original Scottish evaluation

Citric sachets were first introduced in a systematic and organised way across Greater Glasgow and Lanarkshire. As a part of this implementation, the Scottish Executive Effective Interventions Unit conducted an independent evaluation of their introduction. The findings of this survey (published in March 2003) were very positive, concluding amongst other things, that citric acid sachets should be supplied by needle exchange services across the UK.
