Collection and Usage Attributes
It is recommended that the minimum number of needles and syringes issued per occasion of service is two. This is because most injecting drug users will inject in company and one needle and syringe will likely encourage the sharing of that needle and syringe.

A maximum of 100 needles and syringes may be issued per occasion of service. The maximum number may be increased but only in special circumstances, i.e., where the client has difficulty accessing the NSP service at regular intervals.

An appropriate disposal container should also be supplied.
Check that number dispensed is within the valid range (2 to 100), as per expected injecting practices.
This data element is collected on each occasion of service.
Collected to monitor service access, levels of service utilisation and types of injecting practices.
