Kaye asks - what is it with Scotland and drugs?

PHONE IN
Figures to be published today are expected to show that Scotland remains the drugs death capital of Europe for the seventh year in a row. In 2023, there were 1,172 drug misuse deaths in Scotland, bringing the total in a decade to 10,481, according to official figures. Although experts expect that number to have dropped slightly for 2024, they are warning that any fall will almost certainly be a blip. Kirsten Horsburgh, chief executive of the Scottish Drugs Forum says the arrival of deadly synthetic opioids known as nitazenes in the country is "a crisis on top of a crisis."
