of deaths every year might be starting to fall. this morning, scotland's drug policy minister visited a vintage vehicle business which employs recovering users. i do welcome the reduction that we've seen this year, but that doesn't mean that i don't recognise the scale of the issue that's still in front of us, and that's why it's really important that i remain focused on making sure that we get people into the treatment that works best for them. the scottish government's critics argue that it hasn't got the right set of policies on drugs. i don't think anyone can be celebrating these figures, and i hope the scottish government aren't trying to celebrate when we still have 1,051 lives lost in 2022 because of drugs. but there is no doubt these figures represent an improvement on past years. the number of users who died in 2022 was 1,051, which is 279 less than the year before.

The Context

the three mile island accident in the three mile island accident in the us, the waste water there it was evaporated and subsequent studies found out that radiation doses to people from the evaporation process were about 300 times higher than they would been if the water had been discharged to the local river. so i wouldn't say... of course when concrete dries a lot of the water evaporates. so i wouldn't say that's the best option at the moment. i'm not saying it's not possible with certain types of concrete but i wouldn't be doing it at the moment. i learned a lot tonight. good to talk to you. thank you very much. there's been a large drop in the number of drug related deaths in scotland. the number who died last year was down 279 on the year before. a figure welcomed by the scottish government, after a year on year rise since the 90's. and yet it still means that 1,051 people lost their lives last year.
