KARYN McCluskey, chief executive of Community Justice Scotland, has had enough.  “One thousand two hundred and sixty four. It’s the equivalent of a whole secondary school dying from drugs in a year in Scotland. Everyone. And then some more,” she said. “Drugs may have killed them – but you could also say they died because of hopelessness, trauma, neglect and missed opportunities,” she said. The latest figures - released today - show Scotland has a higher drug-related death rate than any other EU country, and three and a half times the rate of the UK as a whole.  The data from the National Records of Scotland, revealed that 1264 people died in 2019 with causes linked to substances - a 6% increase on 2018.
