I might go back to some of the practicalities around receiving treatment as well as the requirement for urine analysis, which is something we discussed last week as well. It seems we have a model that is trying to catch people out. Ms Kearney spoke about that earlier. It is about catching people out and putting them on the spot. I am wondering about service users' rights and how we get those. Now we are talking about decriminalisation, one of the changes it might bring around is that a drug user is not immediately a criminal. It would change the context we are all having a conversation in and the mentality of trying to catch people out would be removed. That might be a significant benefit when people are seeking treatment. I want the witnesses to talk a little about the gender side of it as well. On service users' rights, are we missing a trick when it comes to things like peer-led systems? How can we optimise that? Surely all the focus on testing runs completely contrary to people's rights because, ultimately, it is not really consent based.
