Drag words into the blanks.
When that happens, staff will help the person - 1 out and now a little stressed - fish their drugs out of the rubbish. On their way out, they might have a blood test, their first 2 check-up in years, or just a hot cup of Milo. 'We enable people to inject in the center because that's what they do,' the medical director, Nico Clark, tells Guardian Australia during a recent visit to the North Richmond Community Health Centre. 'The majority are dependent on their 3. The purpose is not to be a place that facilitates injection per se, the 4 is to keep people alive.' The centre is a response to a coroner's report that noted the heroin-related deaths in the area in 2016.
