    Since 2004, the West Coast Region has been supplied injecting equipment via a peer network utilising a mobile service delivery - an outreach project of the dedicated Needle Exchange - Rodger Wright Centre, located in Christchurch, in conjunction with the NEP National Office. This is the first of its kind in NZ. A full evaluation was completed in 2006 and was deemed a success and continues to operate.
