The latest evaluation of the National Mission on Drug Deaths, focusing on a survey of frontline staff, reveals critical insights into the ongoing battle against drug-related fatalities in Scotland. The report underscores the urgent need for comprehensive prevention strategies, highlighting substantial gaps in current approaches and the dire consequences of lax policies. It is evident that without robust preventive measures and stringent regulations, the situation will only continue to deteriorate. This evaluation serves as a stark reminder that prevention must remain at the forefront of our efforts, and any moves towards legalisation should be categorically rejected.
