Hundreds visited these drug checking sites, but a review into them will stay secret
The data formed part of an evaluation report published by The Loop on Thursday, after the state government again refused to make public the findings of an independent, taxpayer-funded study.
The Loop's evaluation found nearly 700 visitors to the CheQpoint sites at Bowen Hills and Burleigh Heads, which operated for a few hours, one day a week, for about a year before they were defunded by the new LNP government and closed in April.
About 600 of these were presentations for drug testing, including 444 from Brisbane.
The former Labor government launched the pill testing initiative promising there would be an independent University of Queensland evaluation of the service after 12 months.

The study was completed and submitted at the end of March. But despite pressure from advocates and health officials, the state government has not made it public.
The Loop Australia, the not-for-profit organisation that delivered the service, said a formal Right to Information request lodged in June had been denied on the grounds the evaluation would be considered by cabinet, effectively keeping the findings secret.
A spokeswoman for Health and Ambulance Services Minister Tim Nicholls confirmed the report was before cabinet.

7NEWS The Issue Podcast: MP and competitive shooter Dan Repacholi shares 34kg weight loss journey
Hunter MP and competitive shooter, Dan Repacholi, has lost more than 30kg after he tipped the scales at 152kg in the months after missing the Paris Olympics. The Labor politician has shared his story with The Issue Podcast by 7NEWS, in the hope that more men will see their doctor. 'I ate a lot and drank a lot and enjoyed too much and got to 152 kg,' Repacholi said. 'I walked past a shop in Cessnock and saw myself in the reflection there and said some harsh words about me being fat, and a few four letter words.' The Special Envoy for Men's Health says he searched for a quick fix but a trip to the GP got him on the right path. Repacholi is on GL-1 injectable, appetite-suppressing drugs. 'I was embarrassed to talk to my doctor about how big I had got, and this is the doctor I had seen for the last 10 years,' he said. 'The food noise kept coming in my head and I wanted to eat and eat and eat. 'It is something we should talk about. It isn't something we should be ashamed of.' The former coal miner admits he still enjoys a burger and is known for releasing an annual calendar featuring the best hamburger joints in his NSW electorate. 'The 2026 edition will come out in October,' Repacholi says. 'I still eat burgers. I just don't eat three at a time. I now have one. 'Physical health and mental health are all connected, and we just need to go and see our GPs, to make sure we knock those barriers down.' If you need help in a crisis, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Doctors reach wage agreement while other public sector workers prepare to strike
Queensland doctors, police officers and customer service workers have struck a deal for higher pay with the state government, while nurses, teachers and firefighters prepare to escalate their efforts to secure better wages. On Sunday, the Crisafulli government announced it had reached in-principle agreement with Queensland Health's 15,000-strong medical officer workforce, comprised of junior and senior doctors, registrars and specialists working across emergency departments, specialist wards and ambulance services. The deal, which health minister Tim Nicholls said was subject to member approval, secures an 8 per cent increase over three years, along with guaranteed cost of living provisions should the CPI rate rise above the state government wages policy. It also offers a new career medical officer classification, an increased attraction and retention allowance for rural generalists and an increase in overnight allowances. Secretary of public sector union Together, Alex Scott, said inflation figures released on Wednesday painted the offer in a favourable light. Loading '[Those figures] show that the current wages offer ... is higher than inflation,' he said. 'In terms of our ability to consider whether or not our members are better off under collective agreements or not, having a wage offer that is above inflation is fundamentally important to us.' Nicholls said an agreement had also been reached with staff of the newly formed Customer Services, Open Data and Small and Family Business (CDSB), and Queensland Police Service's Protective Services officers.
