[And this new unit has nothing to do with the gangs of asylum seekers who are attacking local women in Glasgow? -ed]
Scotland’s first specialist care centre for victims of rape and sexual assault is planned for Glasgow.
The Assault, Rape, Counselling, Health (Arch) centre will bring police, social work and health services together under one roof in a three year pilot project.
It is hoped Arch will improve reporting and conviction rates while addressing the needs of sex attack victims.
The new unit, costing £1.67m, will mean victims will no longer be taken to a police office for an examination.
Between April 2004 and March 2005, Strathclyde Police casualty surgeons carried out 386 forensic medical examinations across the force area.
