Record View says the Scottish Government must deliver the promises made about getting people into better forms of treatment
The Daily Record has dedicated countless pages to chronicling our nation’s enduring disgrace. We would hope to be able to bring better tidings, of a nation in recovery or at least in a better place, but we seem to be stuck in one long and utterly tragic rut.
But what has changed since then? The Scottish Government’s MAT Standards were the flagship strategy that would bring powerful rights to those in addiction, meaning they would be guaranteed rapid treatment. The implementation has been woefully behind schedule. We have heard pledge after pledge about getting more people “into treatment”. But in too many cases that treatment consists of little more than picking up a methadone script, which is often then mixed in a cocktail with deadly street drugs.
In their name It is imperative that the Covid Inquiry gets to the truth of why so many people died. Almost a quarter of a million people throughout the UK, more than 17,000 of them in Scotland, perished as a result of the virus which swept through the country in 2020.
