Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Douglas Ross (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 8 September 2021 on behalf of the Scotland Office.
Misuse of Drugs Act and Health Outcomes
- Question
-
In the last year for which figures are available, 1,339 lives were lost in Scotland as a result of drug misuse, the worst number since records began in 1996, yet we got no solutions from the SNP or from Nicola Sturgeon in her programme for government yesterday. Scottish Conservatives have put forward plans for a right to recovery Bill. Does the Minister agree that the Scottish Government should engage with us to bring forward these proposals?
- Answer
-
I absolutely agree. My hon. Friend and his colleagues have come up with an excellent policy in this area, and it would be to the great advantage of people in Scotland that the Scottish Government take up the proposals that it contains.
