Michael Fry: How the UK is stopping Scotland from moving forward on drugs

THE end of the political term, as weary legislators pack to go away, is often a season for burying bad news. In Scotland this time we had an item that caught the attention of Europe – and not the usual stuff about the mountain and the flood, which were all in Spain and Greece. No, we offered neighbouring nations a panorama of the deadbeat and the dud, with news of the drug users in our inner cities and our housing schemes, more of the misfits unable to face the life of the 21st century except with their crutch. Many affluent nations suffer the same problem in lesser degree but picturesque Scotland is the worst of all, as shown by evidence of the most gruesome kind. News came through last week that in 2020 the number of Scots who died through drugs reached a record 1339, up from 1264 in 2019. It was the seventh year in succession to have seen the same grim shift.

Scotland s drugs deaths rise to record high but Dundee cases fall

Scotland recorded the highest rate in Europe Drugs deaths in Scotland have reached a record high, with more people dying due to substance abuse in 2020. A total of 1,339 deaths last year were attributed to drugs, up from 1,264, new statistics have revealed. This was down slightly on the increase between 2018 and 2019 of 6%. The annual statistics from the National Records of Scotland (NRS) show the rate of deaths in Scotland is some 3½ times that of the UK as a whole. It is also higher than any other European country. As figures rise again across the country, the number of drug-related deaths per million people in Dundee fell compared to 2020.
