As a response to this harm-minimisation approach, several states across Australia have implemented
Medically Safe Injecting Center(MSIC). Sydney was the first state to do so.
Write an essay using the case study of Sydney’s Medically Supervised Injecting Center(MSIC) in Kings Cross Sydney.Relate this policy response the stages of policy process ,analysing the extend to which the introduction of the MSIC in Sydney conformed to these stages.
Would you say this has been a successful policy response to the National Drug Strategy?
