  • Addressing Scotland's Drugs Crisis
    Addressing Scotland’s Drugs Crisis Last year in Scotland, 1,187 people tragically lost their lives to drug-related deaths - the largest number ever recorded and more than double the total in 2008. Scotland’s drug death rate per head of population is now nearly three times that of the UK as a whole, and is higher than that reported for any other EU country. Alongside the increase in drug related deaths, since 2015 we have witnessed the largest outbreak of HIV in the UK since the 1980s, affecting a population of people who inject in Glasgow city centre. Since the outbreak began, there have been 157 new HIV diagnoses among this population, a significant increase on pre-outbreak levels. People who use drugs are a vulnerable group, and the single biggest driver of drug use is poverty and deprivation1. The majority of policy areas for Scotland’s drug-related harm response are devolved to the Scottish Parliament, and debate continues about how best to achieve the objectives outlined in the Scottish Government’s drugs strategy, Rights, Respect and Recovery. Much of this work will also be a focus for the forthcoming update to Scotland’s Sexual Health and Blood Borne Virus Framework, particularly in relation to reducing new HIV and hepatitis C infections. However, drugs policy set by the UK Government continues to have a significant impact on Scotland’s response. In the build up to the forthcoming UK General Election, we are therefore calling on Prospective Parliamentary Candidates for Scottish constituencies to commit to urgent action to reduce both drug-related deaths, and HIV and hepatitis C transmission in Scotland.
