Comprehensive data on the number of people accessing alcohol treatment services are not available.

Scottish Government is working to make alcohol treatment services more accessible to those who need them. An important part of this is by tackling stigma, to that end we will be publishing a Stigma Action Plan in early 2023.

We recognise the importance of residential rehabilitation being available to everybody who wants it - and for whom it is deemed to be clinically appropriate - at the time that they ask for it in every part of the country. That is why we have made £100 million available towards residential rehabilitation services and associated aftercare over this parliamentary term.

Alcohol treatment targets are being developed alongside stage two of the drugs targets implementation in 2024. This will ensure that people with problematic alcohol use continue to receive the same quality of care as those with problematic drug use.

Zero Waste Scotland sourced this information from SEPA’s waste data tool ( Waste (from all sources) (sepa.org.uk) , to which their researchers applied a compositional analysis to provide the detail found in the table.

Land reform is a matter of longstanding public concern and there are a number of established stakeholders in this area. They cover a variety of interests, and include landowners, tenants, and community groups and their respective representative organisations, charities and third sector groups, academics, as well as solicitors and other professionals concerned with property law and taxation.

Engagement with stakeholders has so far taken place primarily through the formal consultation process. The consultation, Land Reform in a Net Zero Nation , was published on 4 July 2022, setting out our proposals for the next Land Reform Bill. During the consultation period a programme of Ministerial public meetings took place, with five in-person meetings (in Langholm, Invermoriston, Helmsdale, Stornoway, and Ballater) and an online meeting, which attracted over 100 participants from across Scotland.

Approximately 540 responses to the consultation have been received and these are currently being analysed. We remain committed to continuing to engage with stakeholders throughout the Bill process.

At present, there is no deadline for unlocking the full £200 million investment ambition. However, it is anticipated that the first six Green Growth Accelerator (GGA) pathfinder projects will collectively unlock more than £50 million investment in low carbon infrastructure over the next two years.
