Nov. 30, 2021 – Funded rehab was virtually abandoned in Scotland after being regarded as ineffective and too costly by SNP health ministers in recent years. But the drug death rate has soared from 455 in 2007 to 1,339 last year, creating a recognised emergency.
Constance stridently announced in Holyrood that, over the next five years, “everyone who wants residential rehabilitation, and for whom it is considered clinically appropriate, can access it”.
The latest announcement follows relentless campaigning by the Daily Record to increase funding for drug programmes and channel cash into new strategies.
