Lodged by Sharon Dowey Standard Motion 17 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes with concern that the Ayrshire region recorded 60 suspected drug deaths between January and June 2021; is further concerned that there was an increase in drug deaths across Scotland last year by 75 deaths, with an overall total of 1,339; acknowledges that every drug death is a tragedy; understands that reported rehab funding reductions by the Scottish Government are having a devastating impact, and believes that the Scottish Government must start listening to frontline experts if drug-users are to be supported in their mission to recovery.
