Today, @ONS published its report on drug-related deaths in 2023. Every single one of these deaths is a preventable, avoidable tragedy. Behind the numbers are real people, with family and friends grieving their loss. You can read our response here: wearewithyou.org.uk/latest/n…

While minimum unit pricing has been a step in the right direction, there is more that needs to be done to reduce the numbers of alcohol-related deaths as seen in today's report. Here Policy & Public Affairs Lead for Scotland, Graeme Callander, speaks about the changes needed.

@GraemeCall78170 Policy & Public Affairs Lead for @WeAreWithYou tells @STVNews "Things like liver failure, liver cancer will be included in those statistics however there will be a whole host of other conditions where someone will lose their life because they were drinking and we don't know what that figure is and it could be much much more than that. So I think that just reaffirms organisations like ourselves to do more to make sure we have better access, quicker access to treatment and support in our communities whether that be online or face to face"

In the 1st of 3 reports examining Scotlands relationship with alcohol and addiction, I've been looking at the number of us who don't realise we're drinking too much, often until it's too late. More tonight on @STVNews with @RealMacKaySTV @STVKellyAnn. Thanks to @WeAreWithYou

An increase in the number of people who died from drug misuse in Scotland last year is expected to be revealed when official figures are published in the next few hours. It's thought a rise in the use of high-strength synthetic opioids - such as fentanyl - is partly to blame. Scotland already has the worst drug death rate in Europe. @julietdunlop reports.

There is still time to get involved and eliminate #HepC It all starts with a finger prick test. If you think you’re at risk get tested, if you work with people at risk test them and ask yourself are you doing everything you can? #WorldHepatitisDay #BeFreeOfHepC #HepCULater
