THE long-delayed publication of the Scottish drug death statistics for 2019 inevitably created a lot of media interest. It’s becoming an annual event, but not one to celebrate. Then there is the political fallout with demands for greater investment in drug treatment services and calls for the Public Health Minister to resign. It’s understandable that the general reaction is one of dismay, frustration and anger – how can this be happening in Scotland? Why us?
