Glasgow has recorded the highest rate of drug deaths in Scotland last year despite a drop in the total number.
The latest figures show almost four deaths a week take place in the city.
Putting the reduction into historical context the statisticians highlighted drug deaths are still more common than 20 years ago and deprived areas are more affected. “Glasgow City and Dundee City had the highest rates of drug misuse deaths over the last 5 years while East Renfrewshire and Aberdeenshire had the lowest rates.”
“Males are twice as likely to die from drug misuse than females, however the fall in deaths in 2022 was much larger for males than for females.
