THE Scottish Government has unveiled a £68 million package of measures aimed at tackling the country’s drug deaths crisis.
The Scottish Drug Deaths Taskforce was disbanded last year after publishing its last report in July and told ministers there was more that “must be done” to tackle drug deaths in Scotland.
In a response published on Thursday, drugs minister Angela Constance said the country continued to “face a public health emergency” as she unveiled measures ministers would fund until 2026.
