Experts call for Scottish Government to follow Europe’s footsteps and revolutionise our drugs policy including supervised user rooms

Description

Last year, 867 people died from drug use in Scotland, equating to 160 per million residents, but in Portugal only 39 people died, the equivalent of six per million people.

Dr Iain McPhee, senior lecturer in alcohol and drug studies at West of Scotland University, has called for an alternative vision for the country’s future drug recovery programmes.
