Several recent deaths in Inverclyde could “potentially be linked to illicit drugs”, the local health board has said.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde says it has been made aware of the cluster and investigations are under way, but neither it nor Police Scotland could confirm the number of deaths.
A problem assessment group involving experts from across health services has met to assess the situation and ensure appropriate early action is taken to minimise the risk of further deaths.
