This is not the last point to mention- it is the first. Interventions must be designed around the needs of people areas of deprivation if they are going to have an impact. Drug deaths are the most shaming indicator that we are failing to address the inverse care law
Lastly, health inequalities are persistently at the heart of Scottish drug deaths. People in the most deprived areas of Scotland are more than 15 times as likely to die than those in the least deprived areas. You can’t solve the drug death crisis without addressing poverty. /ENDS

Historic!
