New Approach Needed to Tackle Scotland’s Drugs Crisis
- Submitted by: Miles Briggs, Lothian, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
- Date lodged: Monday, 26 November 2018
- Motion reference: S5M-14914
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 28 November 2018
That the Parliament recognises the drug-related public health crisis; understands that the number of people engaged in problematic use of opiates and/or benzodiazepines has increased since 2007, with 934 fatalities recorded in 2017, and that Scotland now has the highest drug death rate in Europe; considers that the Scottish Government’s draft drug and alcohol strategy, All Together Now, is not fit for purpose, and that it will not deliver the additional capacity or intervention needed to reduce Scotland’s damaging drug and alcohol levels, and recognises that a new approach is needed to tackle this crisis.
